South Africa vs Brazil Highlights: Confederations Cup Semis

Barcelona right-back Daniel Alves broke South African hearts with an 87th-minute free-kick for Brazil that dumped the hosts out of the Confederations Cup with a narrow semi-final victory in Johannesburg.

The Barcelona right-back, who only came on for the closing stages of the game, smashed in a powerful 18-yard set-piece from the left to stun a huge crowd at the Ellis Park Stadium after their side had performed impressively for most parts of the game.

However, the hosts eventually fell short and will now meet Spain in the third-place play-off on Sunday, while the Selecao will face the United States in the tournament finale.

Bafana Bafana, who can take heart from the display, were handed a massive boost before the start after striker Bernard Parker passed a crucial late fitness test and they looked inspired during the early stages with Steven Pienaar and Teko Modise bossing the midfield.
