Bolivia 2-1 Brazil 11 October 2009

Pitaco do gringo's Brazilian football blog 11 October @ 05:16 PM EST

Down and out in La Paz

A lacklustre Brazil went down 2-1 in La Paz against Bolivia and so ended Dunga's team's 19 game unbeaten run.

Olivares and Marcelo Moreno had given the homeside a two-goal cushion before Nilmar pulled one back in the second-half. The combination of high altitude and poor attitude meant that Brazil rarely threatened and the whole match had that ‘end of season' feel to it.
