RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 25 (Xinhua) -- Palmeiras forward Dudu scored a second-half goal as Brazil defeated Colombia 1-0 in a friendly to raise money for victims of the Chapecoense air disaster here on Wednesday.
Before the match, crash survivors Alan Ruschel, Rafael Henzel, Neto and Jakson Follmann were presented with commemorative plaques in an emotional ceremony at the Engenhao stadium.
A minute's applause was held before kickoff as players from both teams stood arm-in-arm in a show of solidarity.
It was a dour first half, with both teams having few clear scoring chances in Rio's stifling summer heat.
The hosts finally found a way past Colombia's defence just after the halftime break. The move started with an inch-perfect Rodriginho through ball that Fagner pulled back into the box just before careering over the byline.
Diego Souza then saw his first-time effort blocked by goalkeeper David Gonzales before Dudu headed in the rebound.
Earlier, the Brazilian football confederation said all of the gate takings would be donated to Chapecoense team families affected by the tragedy in November.
Seventy-one people died, including 19 Chapecoense players, when the LaMia plane carrying the Brazilian club's squad slammed into a hillside near Medellin, Colombia.
The tragedy occurred just two days before Chapecoense were due to play Atletico Nacional in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final.
“We prepared for that and (in the first leg against Barcelona) we competed very well, we played very well and won showing our personality. It was down to all the hard work on the tour,” he said.
“We are happy about what we’ve done so far Nike Air Vapormax Scontate Saldi , but it is a long season and we still have to work hard.”
Despite defending a 3-1 lead, Zidane is taking nothing for granted in what will be a third El Clasico meeting before the new campaign, having lined up against Barcelona last month in Florida Nike Air Vapormax Scontate Uomo , where they lost 3-2.
“Anything is possible. In football nothing is certain,” he said. “We will have to play very well because Barcelona can cause you problems at any time.
“They are a team with a lot of pride and they’re going to come here wanting to turn the game around.
“We are not going to let our guard down because we expect a difficult game, more difficult than the first leg.”
Manchester United lost 2-1 against Real Madrid in their Super Cup showdown
They doubled their lead when Isco calmly slotted in from eight yards after a neat one-two with Gareth Bale Scarpe Nike Air Vapormax Scontate , who started ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo.
New £75m striker RomeluLukaku tapped in before Marcus Rashford scuffed wide.
The Europa League winners were given encouragement by Lukaku’s strike, despite rarely threatening the Madrid goal in the previous hour, and could have scored a barely deserved equaliser through half-time substitute Rashford with nine minutes left.
United were unable to create another clear-cut chance as Madrid became the first team to retain the Super Cup since 1990.
With temperatures over 30C in the Macedonian capital Nike Air Vapormax Scontate , the match was twice stopped for scheduled cooling breaks implemented by governing body Uefa.
The Red Devils have spent £146m this summer on Everton striker Lukaku (£75m), Chelsea midfielder NemanjaMatic (£40m) and Benfica defender Victor Lindelof (£31m) as they look to improve on a disappointing sixth-placed finish in the Premier League last season.
All three new signings started as Mourinho named a strong side against the European champions.
Only Ronaldo was missing from the Madrid team which started their victory against Juventus in the Champions League final, providing a stern test for Mourinho’s new-look side.
But United struggled against the continent’s best Nike Air Vapormax Plus Saldi , particularly in the first half, as Madrid controlled the tempo with their crisp and purposeful passing.
The English side were unable to effectively keep possession before half-time – managing just 39% of the ball – and mustered only one shot on target when Lukaku headed straight at Madrid keeper KeylorNavas.
Mourinho introduced teenager Rashford at the break, looking to stretch the Spanish club – who the Portuguese boss managed between 2010 and 2013 – on the break.
Although the Red Devils did improve in the second half Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit Saldi , they still looked well short of being able to compete with Europe’s most talented sides going into their return to the Champions League this season.
