They had to grit their teeth and even battle through an energy sapping period of extra time until they could finally settle the quarter final match in their favour. The Brazilian Olympic Selection, along with Werder Bremen playmaker Diego, eventually overcame a feisty Cameroon side, which was reduced to ten men after just 51 minutes, with a 2-0 win in extra time. The South Americans made their breakthrough thanks to a strike by Rafael Sobis in the 101st minute and doubled their lead four minutes later through Marcelo. Diego played through until the 107th minute in front of a 41,000 strong crowd in Shanghai.
The semi final on Tuesday will see a clash of the South American giants with Brazil set to take on Argentina, whose squad includes such superstars as Lionel Messi, Juan Roman Riquelme and Javier Mascherano.
