Hosts and holders Brazil reached the final of the Confederations Cup on Wednesday after beating Copa America champions Uruguay 2-1 in their semi-final.

A late header by defensive midfielder Paulinho sealed the win.

Brazilian veteran striker Fred, who began his career in Belo Horizonte, had given them the lead after Uruguay’s Diego Forlan had missed a penalty early in the first-half.

However, the Uruguayans levelled early in the second-half as Edinson Cavani shot home after a dreadful mix-up in the hosts’ defence.
