Defending champions Brazil retained their Copa America crown in style with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over arch rivals Argentina in Venezuela giving them an eighth title.
Julio Baptista gave the Samba stars an early lead after just four minutes, and Dunga's men never looked back from then on.
Argentina skipper Roberto Ayala put through his own net five minutes from half time to double Brazil's advantage, and substitute Daniel Alves sealed the victory with a third on 69 minutes.
Not only was it the usual grudge match between the two nations at a packed Jose Encarnacion Romero Stadium, but it was a rematch of the last final in Peru, meaning Argentina also had revenge on their minds.
However, the pre-tournament favourites were stunned early on as Elano's long ball from the right found Julio Baptista at the edge of the box.
The former Arsenal man squared up Roberto Ayala, and a simply shifted the ball onto his right foot before unleashing a devilish strike that flew past Roberto Abbondanzieri in the Argentinian net.
Argentina responded immediately and almost drew level just four minutes later when Juan Sebastian Veron's knockdown feel to Juan Roman Riquelme, whose left-footed effort beat Doni all ends up but smacked into the near post and away to safety.
Doni then had to be at his best to deny Riquelme again, diving to his left to palm away a curling effort from the edge of the box after Carlos Tevez had looked to twist his way through.
With the game finely poised, the crucial moment came five minutes before the interval, when Daniel Alves whipped in a dangerous cross from the right and a sliding Ayala poked the ball into his own net at the near post, with Abbondanzieri stranded.
Argentina tried to hit back in the second half, but rarely tested Doni and looked to have a lack of creativity, although Brazil defended well at the edge of their box to deny substitute Pablo Aimar.
Brazil were playing on the counter attack and they cut right through Argentina on 69 minutes when Vagner Love slipped Alves in on the right edge of the box, and the Sevilla man slotted the ball expertly beyond Abbondanzieri into the far corner.
Dunga's much-maligned Brazil side coasted to a fine victory which will vindicate his style of play somewhat, as Brazil claimed an eighth Copa America, and a fourth in five years as they continue to dominate in recent times.
.And baptista can play anywhere except in England :rofl:.
