Brazil vs Argentina: Last 3 Copa America Meetings

#1 Brazil 3-0 Argentina (2007 Copa America final)

Baptista after scoring Brazil's opener

Manager Dunga opted to rest most of his first team regulars owing to a loaded European season. The 1994 World Cup winner left out stars like Ronaldinho and Kaka and placed his faith in young blood like Robinho, Elano, Vagner Love, and Julio Baptista.

Argentina, on the other hand, were at full strength with a squad that included Juan Riquelme, a young Lionel Messi, Javier Mascherano, Juan Sebastian Veron, and Carlos Tevez.

Brazil's young guns gave the experienced Argentine side a resounding hiding with a 3-0 win. Julio Baptista opened the scoring with a sensational long ranger right in the 4th minute.

Argentine defender Roberto Ayala turned a teasing Dani Alves cross into his own net to double Brazil's lead in the 40th minute and the Selecao capped off a dominant win with Alves again finishing off a rapid counter in the 69th minute.
