See the ball hit Luis Fabiano’s left hand to the first time he and Siaka Tiene go up to get the ball. He and Tiene then chase the ball and he lofts it over, spins around Tiene, and as the ball comes down it hits him on the right hand, trickles across his body to his left foot and he slams it into goal.
Yet another match with poor officiating as Stephane Lannoy of France and his linesman totally missed that call, twice, and then Lannoy had the bright idea of asking Fabiano whether that goal was legit after awarding the goal.
If that goal had been disallowed, Drogba’s late goal would have made the match much closer – an equalizer was not out of the question. But with a 3-1 scoreline, this was Brazil’s victory hand delivered.
