The 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup resumed on Saturday, with Group A's foursome all in action to finalize how the table would look at the end of the day's two matches. 

Brazil and Italy already earned berths into the next stage after both taking down Japan and Mexico in the days prior, and both were paired against each other to decide which side would take the higher seed into the knockout round.
