斯洛伐克的美夢最終沒有成真...
巴西這場比賽汲取小組賽的經驗，更兢兢業業踢這場球。
最終是能攻能守的中場大將 Dudu 在延長賽裡憑藉黃金入球率領球隊晉級 8 強。
呼...這場比賽也是光看文字報導就熱血沸騰...
由於內容太長請恕我懶得翻譯。
但可以說東歐球隊踢出一場精彩的比賽，讓巴西球員嚇出一身冷汗！
但也正是託過這場比賽的考驗才使年輕的森巴男孩得以快速成長！
斯洛伐克在比賽中率先進球，隨後巴西不放棄任何一絲機會、希望，
最終在剩不到 10 分鐘的時候終於追平比數。
而正規時間結束之前，斯洛伐克主力球員因為背後剷人遭罰下，
在延長賽中被迫以 10 人打 11 人...
他們教練最終也說：面對巴西這樣技術好的球隊我們拼戰整場已經很累了，最終被罰下
一人，讓我們被迫以寡擊眾，確實難以再招架了...
言談之下流露出一絲惆悵惋惜，但斯洛伐克已經贏得眾人尊敬。
而巴西出乎意料則展現難得的韌性。
過往他們總是率先突破僵局的一方，但面對逆勢時卻不如阿根廷或歐洲球隊一樣，
懂得如何調整自己的情緒然後從後追趕上來（這方面德國是翹楚）。
但這場比賽巴西的年輕人卻展現難得一件的成熟度和耐心，
最終他們敲開對方出色門將把守的大門，也把他們送進 8 強面對日本。

Dudu vanquishes valiant Slovaks (2-1)
(FIFA.com) 09 Dec 2003
It took a golden goal from Brazil’s Dudu to see off Slovakia at the last
sixteen stage of the FIFA World Youth Championship UAE 2003 on Tuesday 9
December in Sharjah. The highly pragmatic Europeans gave an excellent account
of themselves, causing the auriverdes problems until the end. But numerically
disadvantaged during extra time, Peter Polak’s charges could carry the fight
no more. Brazil, who displayed a commendable ability to bounce back, will
face Japan in the quarter-final on 12 December in Dubai.
Clearly still smarting from the indignity of their final group match loss to
Australia (2-3), the Brazilians took a while to get into their stride. The
Slovaks, mindful of their outsider status, were also content to sit back.
As a result, goalmouth action was at something of a premium.
But the territorial domination enjoyed by the Samba Boys meant the best
chances began to fall their way. From a Daniel Carvalho corner, Kleber, left
free at the far post, headed the ball straight back towards the penalty spot.
Alcides Eduardo met it well, but his bullet header was cleared off the goal
line by the Slovakian defence (10’).
Slowly but surely, Marcos Paqueta’s men were imposing their pattern on the
tie. Kleber, at the heart of all their best moves, launched a counter-attack
through the middle of the Slovak defence. Daniel Carvalho and Nilmar were
queuing up to receive the ball, but in the end it was Nilmar whose partially
blocked half-volley failed to trouble Peter Kostolani (25’).
Generally content to cede possession without being punished, the Slovaks even
indulged in a couple of offensive forays in the run-up to the interval.
Captain Marian Kurty, back after a bout of flu, hit a good shot that
Jefferson, deputising for Fernando Henrique in the Selecao goal, was grateful
to smother (35’). The Botafogo keeper was then called upon to turn away a
crisp strike from Roman Konecny (40’).
Upon returning from the changing rooms, normal service was resumed by the
Selecao. Kleber embarked on a mazy run through the Slovak defence before
releasing a well-struck low shot, but Kostolany saved well (50’). The Slovak
keeper was equally decisive minutes later; when left horribly exposed after
a mistake by Milos Brezinsky, he beat away Kleber’s shot (53’) just as a
goal seemed inevitable.
But all storms recede eventually, and soon the Slovaks came back with a
vengeance. A corner from Juraj Halenar picked out striker Filip Sebo, who
had just entered the fray. Totally unmarked, he made no mistake with his
header (0-1, 60’) to open the scoring against the run of play.
The auriverdes were stunned, but quickly regrouped to pile on the pressure.
Daniel Carvalho escaped down the left and centred towards the penalty spot.
Dagoberto, who had just come on, managed to make contact but his shot sailed
wide (69’). Then Kleber sprang the offside trap to earn another duel with
Kostolani, but again the big keeper was quick off the blocks to stifle the
danger (73’).
Paqueta’s boys maintained their forward momentum and their persistence
eventually paid off. Dudu accepted a neat pass about sixteen yards out,
swerved to take out a defender and unleashed a powerful shot. This time,
even Kostolani was left clawing at fresh air and Brazil were level
(1-1, 82’). With Slovakia at a low ebb, the Selecao sought to take advantage
and snatch the tie at the death. Dagoberto came mighty close to doing just
that when his miss-hit volley looped over the Slovak keeper, but Marek Cech
was on hand to make a desperate clearance, which rebounded off the crossbar
and struck the post before rolling to safety (84’).
The Brazilians were in the ascendant and so was the tension. In added time,
Kamil Kopunek was dismissed for a tackle from behind. “The sending off was
a turning point. Playing against Brazil is difficult enough without being
down to 10 men,” Peter Polak acknowledged ruefully after the tie. Extra time
kicked off with 11 against 10, and South American dominance was growing
exponentially. Dudu struck another fine shot that Kostolani managed to block
(94’). Moments later, after playing a smart one-two, the same player found
himself one on one with the keeper and promptly scored to send his side into
the quarter-final (2-1, 95’). The numerous Brazilian supporters erupted with
joy, as did many of the locals, the vast majority of whom had aligned
themselves with the Selecao.
It was a highly satisfying win for Paqueta, who revealed the special
preparations he had made for the game: “Our opponents were brave and it
was an open game. Before the match, we gave the players a message from their
parents, which boosted their motivation and confidence. It helped them to
focus.”
As for Polak, he could not contain his disappointment, but neither could he
hide his pride in his young colts: “We were well prepared. We knew how
strong they were in midfield, and succeeded in keeping it tight in that area,
but a minor error five minutes from time put paid to all our good work
