One year later, he appeared in his first Champions League match in July between Zeta and Kaunas in the first qualifying round. On 14 January 2009, Kuipers was promoted to elite level in European football. This led to him taking charge of his first proper Champions League match on 29 September 2009 in the group stage between Barcelona and Dynamo Kyiv. Ahead of the final, Kuipers had refereed 23 Champions League matches and 15 UEFA Cup/Europa League matches, including his first senior final, the 2013 UEFA Europa League Final between Benfica and Chelsea. He has also refereed at the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012. Kuipers was assisted by his compatriots Sander van Roekel and Erwin Zeinstra; the trio had previously taken charge of the Group B match between Nigeria and Uruguay earlier in the tournament. They were joined by fourth and fifth officials Felix Brych and Mark Borsch, representing the German Football Association (DFB). Match Summary In the second minute of the game, a cross from the right by Hulk was not dealt with by defenders Álvaro Arbeloa, Gerard Piqué or goalkeeper Iker Casillas. The ball fell to Brazil forward Fred, who had slipped and while lying on the ground managed to improvise and poke the ball past Casillas to give Brazil the lead. In 39th minute, Spain almost equalised when Pedro beat the goalkeeper from the right but saw his shot hooked off the line and over the bar by David Luiz. Brazil increased their lead just before half time when Oscar passed to Neymar on the left side of the penalty area and he hit the ball left footed hard and high at the near post past Casillas.https://www.footballparadise.com/neymar-magical-influence/ Neymar and the magical influence of an enigmatic amulet Football Paradise Kilpeläinen Juuso 18 March 2018 15 December 2020 Brazil no. 10 ghosted around the penalty area, like an introvert at family reunions, before gracefully timing his run and meeting Oscar's serve under a surrealistically high-pressured situation. Spain's Álvaro Arbeloa, who lunged into a challenge later than a regional bus reaches its destination in Lapland, followed in shame and disbelief as Cafusa's trajectory darted past the powerless Iker Casillas. The third goal for Brazil arrived two minutes into the second half when Fred curled the ball low right footed inside the far post from the left, with Casillas getting his fingers to the shot but unable to keep it out. Five minutes later, Marcelo tripped Jesús Navas to give away a penalty. Sergio Ramos took the penalty but he shot low, right-footed, and past the goalkeeper's right post. In the 68th minute, Gerard Piqué was shown a red card for bringing down Neymar just outside the penalty area. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/jun/30/brazil-spain-live-confederations-cup-final Brazil v Spain: Confederations Cup final – as it happened 1 July 2013 Guardian UK 4 July 2013 Details 2013 6 30 y 19:00 BRT BRA 3–0 https://www.fifa.com/confederationscup/matches/round=274645/match=300334881/report.html ESP Fred 2 48 Neymar 44 Estádio do Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro 73,531 Björn Kuipers (Netherlands) _bra13h _bra13h _bra13h _bra13a _bra13hl FFCC00 FFCC00 FFCC00 FFFFFF FFFFFF Brazilhttps://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/12/42/31/eng_16_0630_bra-esp_tacticalstartlist.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20131217224524/http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/12/42/31/eng_16_0630_bra-esp_tacticalstartlist.pdf dead 17 December 2013 Tactical Line-up – Final – Brazil-Spain 30 June 2013 FIFA.com Fédération Internationale de Football Association PDF 30 June 2013 _esp1314h _esp1314H _esp1314h _esp12h _esp13hw E80113 FFFFFF E80113 0000FF E80113 Spain GK 12Júlio César RB 2 Dani Alves CB 3 Thiago Silva (c) CB 4 David Luiz LB 6 Marcelo DM 18Paulinho 88 DM 17Luiz Gustavo CM 11Oscar RW 19Hulk 73 LW 10Neymar CF 9 Fred 80Substitutions: MF 23Jádson 73 FW 21Jô 80 MF 8 Hernanes 88Manager:Luiz Felipe Scolari300px GK 1 Iker Casillas (c) RB 17Álvaro Arbeloa 15 46 CB 15Sergio Ramos 28 CB 3 Gerard Piqué 0 68 LB 18Jordi Alba DM 16Sergio Busquets CM 8 Xavi CM 6 Andrés Iniesta RW 11Pedro LW 13Juan Mata 52 CF 9 Fernando Torres 59Substitutions: DF 5 César Azpilicueta 46 MF 22Jesús Navas 52 FW 7 David Villa 59Manager:Vicente del Bosque Man of the Match: Neymar (Brazil)Brazil v Spain – Man of the Match https://www.fifa.com/confederationscup/matches/round=255211/match=300222461/manofthematch.html FIFA.com Fédération Internationale de Football Association 30 June 2013 30 June 2013 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20130703024059/http://www.fifa.com/confederationscup/matches/round%3D255211/match%3D300222461/manofthematch.html 3 July 2013 Assistant referees: Sander van Roekel (Netherlands) Erwin Zeinstra (Netherlands) Fourth official: Felix Brych (Germany) Fifth official: Mark Borsch (Germany) |} Statistics +Overallhttps://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/13/02/21/eng_16_0630_bra-esp_fulltime.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20130928112255/http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/13/02/21/eng_16_0630_bra-esp_fulltime.pdf dead 28 September 2013 Match report – Final – Brazil-Spain PDF FIFA.com Fédération Internationale de Football Association 30 June 2013 7 July 2013 Brazil SpainGoals scored 3 0Total shots 14 15Shots on target 8 7Ball possession 47% 53%Corner kicks 1 8Fouls committed 26 16Offsides 2 0Yellow cards 0 2Red cards 0 1 See also 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup knockout stage References External links 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup June 2017 Final 2013 2013 2013 Final Category:International sports competitions in Rio de Janeiro (city) Category:June 2013 sports events in South America Category:Men's international association football finals in South America 2013 Category:Men's football matches in Brazil
