In pictures: Haiti v Brazil

1 of 9 Brazilian footballers received an ecstatic reception when they arrived in the Caribbean for a football "game for peace" against conflict battered Haiti.

2 of 9 Long queues formed to buy the 15,000 tickets, despite being priced at between $3 and $10 - a lot of money for impoverished Haitians.

3 of 9 There were frenzied scenes in the streets as the Brazilian team arrived - aboard UN armoured personnel carriers.

4 of 9 Security was tight - with Brazilian-led peacekeepers keeping a careful eye on the enthusiastic crowds.

7 of 9 As the game went on, Ronaldinho racked up a hat-trick...

8 of 9 And by the end of the match, the score was 6-0 to Brazil. But Haiti's thrashing did not seem to dampen the mood in the crowd.

9 of 9 So much for the request from the Brazilian president - who made a special visit - that Brazil keep the goals to a minimum. Lula took the chance to greet some of the Brazilian soldiers leading the 1,700 UN peacekeepers in Haiti.
