Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar may have won man-of-the-match for his penalty shoot-out saves in their win over Chile, but it is an experience he wants to avoid in the future.

I hope that our coming matches don't go to penalties, because otherwise our families will end up having heart problems," he half-joked.

"The Brazilian people needed this, and so did the players. We knew how difficult it would be," said the 34-year-old after collecting the man-of-the-match award.

He broke down in tears just before starring in the shoot-out, and was also outstanding during the game itself, notably denying Charles Aranguiz in the second half with the score 1-1.
