Resume.

Brazil easily beat Greece 3-0 in their opening Group B Confederations Cup match.

A full Leipzig Stadium saw Brazil out class the European Champions with goals from Adriano, Robinho and Juninho Pernambucano.

Adriano scored in the 41st minute with an unstoppable 20 yard stunner that left Greek goalkeeper Antonios Nikopolidis holding his head in his hands.

Robinho, made it 2-0 in the 46th minute after the excellent Gilberto ran through most the Greek team and then slotted a well placed pass to the 21 year old Santos striker.

Next it was Juninho Pernambucano's term to impress, 4 minutes after coming on for Kaka he hit a perfect free-kick from 20 metres out to far left of the goal.

Brazil next face Mexico on Sunday in Hannover.
