World Champions Brazil were made to sweat by a talented Swiss side but emerged victorious 1-0 in Emmen on Wednesday and jump to the top of Group F at the FIFA World Youth Championship Netherlands 2005. A 14th-minute header from defender Gladstone was all that separated the sides in a match that began brilliantly but, as a spectacle, ended disappointingly as the South Americans preserved their advantage.  
  
"We had some great opportunities in the first ten minutes and we need to improve our finishing," said Brazil coach Rene Weber after the match. "The rhythm decreased after the break as our lack of preparation told."  
  
There was just one change to the teams from the opening matches with Swen Koenig coming in for Swiss number one Daniel Lopar. And he was almost called into action in the second minute when Diego Tardelli cracked an opportunist effort from distance just wide. Under the warm glow of the sunshine, the selecao had started brightly and four minutes later Tardelli picked out Ernane but, one-on-one with Koenig, the midfielder delayed his finish allowing Arnaud Buehler to make a last-ditch saving tackle. 
  
It was an exhilarating opening and four minutes later, at the other end, Johan Djourou had a similar chance after Tranquillo Barnetta had burst through the Brazilian rearguard. Not quite believing the chance, the Arsenal midfielder took a heavy first touch on the penalty spot and his effort was blocked. 
  
Switzerland were made to pay. Not by Tardelli, who headed Evandro's free kick against the corner of post and bar, but by Gladstone who rose majestically to head the resulting corner home for Brazil's opening goal of the finals (0:1, '14). 
  
Pierre-Andre Schuermann had applauded his team's "fighting spirit" against Korea, and they threw everything forward. Johan Vonlanthen got blind side but was forced to hurry his shot and Renan saved. Two minutes later, 17, the Brazilian keeper spectacularly palmed over a Goran Antic half-volley but even he could do nothing but watch on 23 minutes when Reto Ziegler, finally receiving the ball on the left, smashed a dipping 25-yarder against the bar. From the follow-up corner, Djourou headed over.

Switzerland continued to press but Rene Weber's side had weathered the storm. On the break, Rafael Sosis had two decent efforts before half-time from the left and Evandro had the Brazilian fans temporarily dancing the samba after firing a free kick into the side-netting. Seconds before the interval, it was the vocal Swiss fans turn to jump to their feet but Renan tumbled brilliantly to his left to turn aside Fabio Santos' misplaced header. 
  
After the free-flowing opening period, the second half, to Schuermann's annoyance, became a stop-start affair. Surprisingly isolated, Vonlanthen laboured against Gladstone and the impressive Roberto. Ernane substitute Renato went close on the break as the selecao defended in numbers. 
  
In a frantic finish, Tardelli should have made it 2-0 but, one-on-one, Koenig saved. Then deep into injury time, Vonlanthen almost grabbed an equaliser but Renan punched over the Brescia striker's spectacular overhead kick.  Barnetta headed the resulting corner a yard wide. 
  
"We were not aggressive enough early on and we were having problems at corners," Schuermann told reporters. "We changed things around and we played more tightly. We gave it all but it wasn't to be. I prefer to watch Brazilian sides create rather than waste time." 
  
Goalkeeping hero Renan was all modesty at the end. 
  
"I don't usually plan to appear during the match," he joked. "The less I'm seen the better." 
 
 
브라질, 스위스 잡고 첫승 
  
'삼바군단' 브라질이 스위스를 잡고 2005세계청소년축구선수권대회 첫 승을 신고했다. 

브라질은 16일(한국시간) 네덜란드 에멘의 에멘스타디움에서 열린 대회 F조 조별리그 스위스와의 2차전에서 글라드스톤의 선제골을 잘 지켜 1-0으로 이겼다. 

이로써 브라질은 1승1무(승점 4)로 16강 진출에 유리한 고지를 점하며 대회 2연패에 시동을 걸었다. 

1차전(나이지리아전)과 똑같은 베스트11을 선보인 브라질은 시작 13분만에 포문을 열며 산뜻하게 출발했다. 

에르나네가 올려준 코너킥을 글라드스톤이 방아찧기 헤딩슛으로 연결했고, 이 볼이 크게 바운드를 튀기며 골문 안으로 들어갔다. 

지난 13일 한국에 2-1 역전승을 거뒀던 스위스의 저력도 만만치는 않았다. 그러나 스위스는 전반 20분 요한 볼란텐의 슛이 골키퍼의 손에 살짝 걸렸고, 2분 뒤 레토 지글러의 왼발 중거리포가 골대에 맞고 튀어나오는 등 마무리가 좋지 못해 승부를 원점으로 돌리지는 못했다. 

반면 브라질은 수비형 미드필더 호베르투를 중심으로 한 탄탄한 방어벽을 구축해 안정적으로 경기를 풀어나갔다. 단번에 상대 수비라인 뒤를 파고드는 라파엘 소비스, 디에고 타르델리 등 발빠른 공격수들의 역습도 위협적. 

스위스는 막판 세 차례나 코너킥 기회를 잡으며 총공세를 펼쳤으나 볼란텐의 오버헤드킥이 골키퍼에게 막히는 바람에 아쉬움을 삼켰다. 

A조의 일본은 베냉과 후반 20분에 터진 미즈노 고기의 동점골로 1-1 무승부를 올리며 1무1패를 기록했고, E조의 콜롬비아는 캐나다를 2-0으로 누르고 2연승을 달려 16강 진출을 확정지었다.
