LUIS Fabiano's first half goal gave Brazil a 1-0 win over Estonia in an international friendly yesterday.
The Sevilla forward scored in the 43rd minute after a rapid attack, giving Estonian goalkeeper Sergei Pareiko no chance with his precise shot.
Brazilians dominated most of the game - a 100th anniversary match of the Estonian Football Association - but the hosts also had several opportunities to equalize.
Estonia's best scoring chance came in the 22nd minute when Konstantin Vassiljev broke through Brazil's defense and his powerful shot drew a fine save from Brazil keeper Julio Cesar.
Brazil substitute Diego Tardelli had no better luck in the 85th minute with a long-range shot that flew over the bar.
The Brazilians are preparing for a 2010 World Cup qualifier against South American rival Argentina on Sept 5, while Estonia faces Turkey in a European Group 5 match on the same day.
