Three and easy: Robinho celebrates Brazil's brilliant third after his sublime shot sailed into the back of the net


Brazil cruised into the quarter-finals of the World Cup on Monday night with a convincing 3-0 victory over Chile at Johannesburg's Ellis Park stadium.

The five-times world champions struggled to break down the Chile defence for a little over half an hour but once central defender Juan headed in a corner in the 34th minute the die was cast.

Four minutes later striker Luis Fabiano sprung the offside trap to score a second and Robinho added a third with a great strike in the 59th minute.

Brazil will play Netherlands, 2-1 winners over Slovakia earlier in Durban, in the quarter-finals on Friday in Port Elizabeth.
