SANTA CRUZ DE LA SIERRA: Neymar scored twice and Ronaldinho ran the midfield at will as an experimental Brazil side beat Bolivia 4-0 in a friendly. The match, which gave Luiz Felipe Scolari the first win of his second stint as Brazil coach, was held in aid of the family of a young fan killed by a flare last month. Bolivia, one from bottom of the South American World Cup qualifying group with little chance of making it to the finals, are preparing for qualifiers in June against Venezuela and Chile.
