The Brazilians showed their class to dominate throughout, with Goncalves producing a superb finish after 22 minutes as he jinked past his marker and fired into the corner to settle the issue.

The result kept up Brazil's proud record at the Paralympic Games, where they have never lost a match.

China, the silver medallists at Beijing 2008, were disappointing and did not get a shot on target until the 48th minute as they struggled to match the title holders.
