[VIDEO] Alexandre Pato's spectacular goal -- a curling shot from near the sideline -- gave Brazil a 1-0 win over Sweden on Wednesday and has Brazilians
comparing the 18-year-old to
Pele and
Ronaldo. Pato's goal came 12 minutes into his debut. Pele scored 32 minutes into his debut, against Argentina, in 1957. Ronaldo hit the net
after 51 minutes against Iceland in 1994 in his national team debut.
