FIFA Confederations Cup: 5 best players in the history of the tournament

#4 Luis Fabiano

Fabiano won the Golden Boot award in 2009

Luis Fabiano was Brazil’s spearhead in the 2009 edition of the tournament, held in South Africa, when the side managed by former player and legend Dunga went on to win the trophy. Brazil qualified for the tournament as the 2007 Copa America winners and were drawn into a relatively tough group with the likes of the then world champions Italy and the United States of America.

But they ran out as comfortable group winners by winning all of their games, thanks to the three goals from Fabiano including a commendable brace against Italy.

Fabiano scored another brace in the final when Brazil beat the United States 3-2 and also managed to win the Golden Boot award as well as the Silver ball, coming second only to teammate Kaka who pulled the strings for Brazil from midfield.

Both of his goals in the final came after Brazil were trailing the game by two goals and he led the comeback right from the front and ensured that his country came on top.
