Video: Brazil celebrates win against Spain in Confederation Cup final Watching the game on one of the many big screens around the city, thousands of revellers in Rio de Janeiro threw confetti and celebrated into the night. The Brazilians dominated the final at the newly renovated Maracana Stadium, which hosted 73,000 fans. The victory gave Brazil its third straight title in the competition as well as hope that the national team will be able to repeat this performance on July 13, 2014, in the final of the World Cup. Fans left the Maracana stadium on Sunday night as fireworks illuminated the night sky to mark Brazil's victory exploded overhead. "It was really awesome, totally awesome, it was one of the best games I've ever seen in my life," said young fan Gabriel Schack, whose father Rasmus took him to watch the match. It didn't seem like a tough fight at all. It was a perfect victory, very nice," Rasmus added. The scenes of celebration were in stark contrast to anti-government clashes seen between police and protesters before the match on Sunday. Demonstrators hurled rocks and Molotov cocktails at police, who responded with teargas and shock grenades.
