Brazil stroll against Panama

GOIANIA (Brazil), June 4 (AFP): World Cup hosts Brazil strolled to a 4-0 win over Panama in their penultimate warm-up Tuesday, with goals from Neymar, Daniel Alves, Hulk and Willian securing the win which barely satisfied their coach.
After a tentative opening, the Selecao easily saw off limited opponents as Neymar, with his 31st international goal, set the ball rolling, rifling in a free-kick for the opener on the half hour.
Alves drove in the second five minutes before the interval and a cheeky Neymar backheel was enough to pave the way for Hulk to dispatch the third early in the second period before Willian put the icing on the cake 17 minutes from time.
With only Friday's friendly against Serbia to come before the Brazilians meet Croatia in their June 12 World Cup opener in Sao Paulo, 2002 title-winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari seized the chance to use several second string players.
Afterwards, he indicated he saw room for further improvement.
"I am still concerned. We are getting better-but we know we have a fair way to go," indicated the man who lifted Brazil's fifth Cup in Japan 12 years ago and who now wants to deliver first success on home soil.
