Brazil scored first in the Copa America final against Argentina. Julio Baptista scored after 4 minutes from the beginning of the match in the upper right side of the box.

In the 38th minute of the game Argentina was closed to an auto-goal. Ironically, 2 minutes later, Argentina's defender Roberto Ayala (number 2), did it -- making 2-0 for Brazil.

Other big moment of the first halftime was in the 9th minute, when Juan Roman Riquelme hit towards the left side of the box from some 15 meters. Brazil was saved by luck -- the goal was protected by the left post and the ball reflected off.
