Ronaldo and Edilson started the game in attack but it took until the 41st minute for Cruzeiro striker Edilson to score when he put clear for a run to goal and neat finish.

Kaka and Juninho were introduced at the start of the second half and Kaka Kaka hit a low drive to score on the hour with attacking midfielder Ronaldinho scoring with a header four minutes later.

The PSG star then hit his second goal with another header and Edilson ended the scoring from close range in the next to last minute.
