Pato On Point

Every Brazilian from the time they pop into the world dreams of scoring for the national team.

Well, on Wednesday, March 26, Pato's dream became a reality. The 18-year-old striker laced up his orange Vapors before the match as a Serie A star. He unlaced them afterward as an international superstar.

Pato's killer instincts earned him a goal on his debut for the full senior side. And, what a goal it was. The stunning strike won the game for Brazil and certainly won over his coach, Dunga, who had some glowing words for his young forward.

"He knows how to score a goal," said Dunga. "Pato is in the style of Ronaldo."

Dunga will now be hard pressed to keep this new phenomenon out of his starting eleven, as Brazil prepare for some tough World Cup qualifiers this summer.

But with speed, skill and an assassin's eye for goal, why would he want to?
