Brazil enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 victory over Zimbabwe on Wednesday in their penultimate warm-up match before they attempt to win the World Cup for the sixth time.

Goals from Michel Bastos, Robinho and Elano gave Brazil coach Dunga plenty to smile about but an injury to goalkeeper Julio Cesar marred his afternoon.

The keeper went off after 26 minutes pointing to his chest allowing Heurelho Gomes a rare international appearance.

Julio Cesar had been called into action to deny a double chance for Zimbabwe captain and striker Mwaruwari Benjani and Ovidy Karuru.
Soon after that Cesar indicated his discomfort to the bench and asked to come off the field.
