Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (My Sportsbook) - Brazil dominated its first home match in two years, thumping Ecuador 5-0 in front of 70,000 fans at Maracana Stadium Wednesday night in its second World Cup qualifier.

The Samba Kings had just a one-goal lead, thanks to Vagner Love, after the first half, but a four-goal explosion over a 12 minute span late in the second put the game out of reach for Ecuador.

"The players were very anxious and perhaps this affected their performance in the first half," Brazil coach Dunga said.

Ronaldinho scored the home side's second goal before Kaka sandwiched two tallies around an Elano strike.

The dominating effort comes as a relive to Brazil fans after the team struggled to an uninspiring goalless draw at Colombia in its opening match of the 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign on Sunday.

Brazil now has four points after two games of qualifiers while Ecuador has failed to secure any. Brazil is also the only country to have played at all 18 World Cup tournaments while Ecuador has zero appearances.

Brazil opened the scoring in the 19th minute when a Robinho pass sprung Maicon on the right flank before he crossed for an easy tap-in by Vagner Love.

Ronaldinho took some of the tension out of the crowd in the 73rd minute by doubling the home side's lead when he deflected a Kaka shot past Ecuador goalkeeper Daniel Jimmy Viteri.

About five minute later, Kaka added a third when he fired a shot home from lone range after a poor clearance attempt by the defense.

Robinho set up Elano in the 83rd minute to make it 4-0 before kaka completed the double with another long range shot that Viteri should have done better on.

"I didn't see the goal because I shot very weakly and I turned my back," Kaka told Brazilian television.
