Kochi, Feb 7: Asserting their supremacy, Brazil's Sao Paulo Football Club defeated Kerala XI 3-0 in the fourth match of the Super Soccer series at the Jawaharlal Nehru International stadium here today.
The Kerala XI, virtually the state Santosh trophy team, found it tough to contain the visitors.
After a barren first half, the visitors drew first blood in the 51st minute through captain Mar Antonio's booming shot.
Hardworking medio Da Silva scored the second goal in the 64th and medio Hernanes completed the tally in the 85th minute.
The marauding Brazilians had earlier in their first match crushed East Bengal 3-0 at Siliguri.
In the next match, they humbled Mohammedan Sporting 6-0 at Jamshedpur, and defeated Mohun Bagan 2-0 at Kolkata in the third.
The Brazilians, who dominated most of the play, maintained a steady flow of forays into the rivals goalmouth.
Hernanes and Da Silva always spelt danger whenever they had the ball.
Inspired by Antonio's brilliant scheming and through-passes, the Brazilian frontline launched a series of attacks against Kerala in the second session.
Kerala goalkeeper Renjith had a harrowing time under the bar as the speedy Brazilian forwards tested him with powerful shots frequently.
With the Kerala defence a trifle vulnerable and even flat-footed, the Brazilians were presented with scoring opportunities which they converted.

Um grupo da Al Qaeda diz ser responsável pelo ataque de sábado contra a prisão de Abu Ghraib no Iraque. Os militares dos Estados Unidos da América divulgaram relatórios que dizem que 44 soldados americanos e 12 prisioneiros iraquianos foram feridos, alguns com muita gravidade.

O ataque ocorreu no fim do dia e início da noite. Outros ataques violentos também têm ocorrido nos últimos dias em outros pontos do país.

Uma declaração colocada num sítio da internet por extremistas islâmicos no domingo, diz:"Seus irmãos da organização Al Qaeda, pela Guerra Santa, lançaram no Iraque um ataque bem planejado contra a prisão de Abu Ghraib, onde estão detidos muçulmanos, homens e mulheres." 

Jornalistas da GNN dizem que o comandante do exército americano primeiro-tenente Adam Rondeau disse "Este foi obviamente um ataque muito bem organizado e bastante grande."
