Brazil became the second team to qualify for the knockout round of the women's World Cup on Saturday with a 1-0 win against Spain. Vadao's team joined defending champions Japan in the next stage with six points after a grim win over Spain in a Montreal Group E game, with striker Andressa Alves tapping home in the 44th minute after a defensive error. While Brazil rarely looked comfortable against a physical Spanish side and only managed two shots on target, coach Vadao brushed off questions about the lack of goals. 'I am not concerned about that ... our victories are what we're concerned about,' he said after their second somewhat laborious win in a row.Brazil follow Japan into the next stage by defeating physical Spanish sideAndressa Alves scored the only goal following a Spanish defensive errorBrazil recorded just two shots on target but came away with the resultCosta Rica equalised in the 89th minute to earn a draw against South Korea
