Front runner

All eyes were on Rooney and Fabiano. But Brazil's newest star in the making never turns down an opportunity to shine.

Speeding through the defence, Nilmar arrived first and angled a precise header past the keeper to take victory for Brazil.

Brazil’s forwards will set alight the South African stage. Nilmar wants to be one of them.
