Goals galore in first round
The first round of matches in the 2009 FIFA Confederation Cup in South Africa saw a total of 16 goals being scored.
Only three teams failed to score a single goal and these were South Africa and Iraq who were involved in a goalless draw and New Zealand who lost 5-nil to Spain.
The highest scoring match saw seven goals and this was in the match between the South American champions Brazil against the African champions Egypt.
Its interesting to see that the majority of the goals were scored in the first half. Nine goals were scored in the second half compared to seven in the second.
Brazil and Spain contributed seven to that tally between themselves.
It will be interesting to see how Egypt will fare against the World Champions Italy.
