Sports in Brief

Brazil needed an own goal in injury time to defeat Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-1 in a friendly in Switzerland on Tuesday (yesterday morning, Singapore time).

The late winner came after a cross by FC Porto striker Hulk deflected off defender Sasa Papac in the first minute of added time in St Gallen.

Brazil struggled for most of the match at the AFG Arena, failing to impose their style and giving the Bosnians too much space to exploit.

Real Madrid left back Marcelo opened the scoring for Brazil just four minutes into the match but Bosnia equalised just nine minutes later through Stuttgart striker Vedad Ibisevic.

It was Brazil's first match of the year, and coach Mano Menezes had all his players available. In the friendlies against Gabon and Egypt in November, he could not count on players from Brazilian clubs because the Brazilian league was in its decisive stages. AP
