MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- In one brief spurt, Brazil turned a close game into a rout and proved again it will be a strong World Cup favourite. Maicon, Willian and Hulk scored in a seven-minute span to lead Brazil to a 5-0 victory in front of a crowd of 71,124 at Sun Life Stadium. The attendance was the highest for a soccer match in the Miami Dolphins stadium. After a tight first half, Brazil broke the game open with four second-half goals. "In the first half, it was a very competitive match," Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said. "We were fortunate to capitalize on our second half opportunities." Maicons goal in the 65th minute gave Brazil a 3-0 lead. Honduras goalkeeper Noel Valladares deflected Paulinhos header from the left post area and an unmarked Maicon retrieved the deflection near the far post and tapped it into the net. William scored in the 70th. William received Hulks pass and beat Valladares with a shot from 15 yards. Hulk followed up his assist with Brazils fifth goal three minutes later. Robinhos heel pass found Hulk, who converted on a shot that landed inside the left post. "I did not expect this type of result," Scolari said. "I have too much respect for Honduras. They have a very good team. We have a young team and this provides another opportunity in our preparation for the World Cup." Brazil opened the scoring with Bernards goal in the 22nd minute. Paulinhos cross from the right wing found an open Bernard just outside the 6-yard box, where his blast landed under the crossbar. In the 36th minute, Neymar broke free down the left wing for a shot deep in the goal area. Noel Valladares deflected Neymars attempt from 12 yards. Honduran defenders targeted Neymar closely and the Barcelona striker ended on the ground repeatedly throughout the match. As a result of the constant pressure, Neymar drew three yellow cards and eight fouls. "I am not going to discuss the emphasis on Neymar," Honduras coach Luis Fernando Suarez said. "Obviously, he is a player that generates tremendous attention. But my focus is our team and moving forward." Jerry Bengston had Honduras best scoring threat of the first half when his header inside the 6-yard box sailed above the crossbar. Dante made it 2-0 in the 55th minute. Neymar sent a free kick from the left wing toward the 6-yard area, where Dantes header rolled under the legs of Honduras Carlos Costly and into the net. "The positive I take from this game is we played a very good first half," Suarez said. "Our play decreased dramatically in the second half while Brazil raised its game to another level." On Tuesday night, Brazil will play Chile in Toronto, and Honduras will face Ecuador in Houston. Chauncey Billups Jersey .

Cliff Robinson Jersey . Nikolaos Kounenakis has been hired as an assistant coach, the team announced on Monday.Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne has warned his Formula 1 team the clock is on and they must start beating Mercedes to race wins. The Scuderia have closed the gap to F1s world champions over the winter but are yet to beat them in either qualifying or race conditions at 2016s opening three rounds.Ferraris start to the season has also been hampered by reliability concerns and, in a stark public warning delivered to the Maranello team at the Chinese GP, Marchionne made clear his frustrations. What could have been is unfortunate because it didnt happen - we didnt win - so we need to fix this now, he told Sky Sports F1 on Sunday.The team knows that the clock is on and we need to start winning some races and bringing them home. Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne expects wins soon The Italian was speaking hours before Ferraris title challenge suffered a fresh blow in Shanghai when team-mates Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen collided on the first lap.Both cars sustained damage and dropped down the order and, although they raced back to second and fifth places respectively, the team lost yet more ground to Mercedes in both championship races despite Lewis Hamiltons own troubled weekend.WATCH: Vettel scolds KvyatFerrari are 53 points off the pace in the Constructors Championship and, while they can point to a string of podiums, the team last beat Mercedes at Septembers Singapore GP and still only three times in total since turbo engines returned in 2014. Their last world title came in 2008.By contrast, Mercedes are on a best-ever run of nine consecutive victories - two short of F1s all-time record set by McLaren in 1988.Marchionne had already ramped up expectation ahead of the season by suggesting Ferrari should be ready to beat Mercedes from the first race - an opportunity they squandered in Melbourne last month via a botched strategy call. Paul Di Resta breaks down the chaotic start of the Chinese Grand Prix The Italian, who has a reputation for ruthlessness from his wider role as the head of the Fiat-Chrysler road car empire, expects the development of Ferraris SF16-H to soon put them on par with Mercedes.ddddddddddddThe team has developed a car at this point to the level we expected and I think we knew we werent going to be exactly on Mercedes at the beginning of the season, he said.But the car will develop to the point where there is no distinguishable difference between us and them.
