The defending world champs are handily defeated in Rio de Janeiro.
The culminating game of the 2013 Confederations Cup was billed as a potential preview of a 2014 World Cup dream final, with reigning world champion Spain playing a rejuvenated Brazilian squad. (The Cup is an eight-team tournament featuring a host nation, the defending World Cup champ, and the six FIFA continental champions.) It was supposed to be a back-and-forth match between two powerhouse teams. Brazil made sure that didn't happen.
Around the two-minute mark, Fred (yep, one name. "Fred"!) got things started for Brazil with one of the sloppiest goals you will ever see.

A chip shot from the ground. Fall over face first, then kick desperately. Straight out of the playbook.
