Hosts and holders Brazil reached the final of the Confederations Cup on Wednesday after beating Copa America champions Uruguay 2-1 in their semi-final.<\/p>\n

A late header by defensive midfielder Paulinho sealed the win.<\/p>\n

Brazilian veteran striker Fred, who began his career in Belo Horizonte, had given them the lead after Uruguay’s Diego Forlan had missed a penalty early in the first-half.<\/p>\n

However, the Uruguayans levelled early in the second-half as Edinson Cavani shot home after a dreadful mix-up in the hosts’ defence.<\/p>\n

Brazil will play the winner of Thursday’s semi-final between world champions Spain and Italy in a rematch of the Euro 2012 final which the Spaniards won.<\/p>\n
