Football fakery gone wrong takes the dubious honor of being the most watched sports video on YouTube for the week previous to at 17:00 UTC, Wednesday June 9.
Kleber, playing for Brazilian club team Internacional, had already set up his team-mate for a close call on the Corinthians' goalmouth, here grazes a stationary free kick and prevents his team from equalizing Roberto Carlos' penalty at the other end.
Elsewhere, World Cup fever is on the up as a hamstring injury to Dutch winger Arjen Robben may exclude him from participating in the tournament.
The third most-viewed video was the winning goal in a charity match - England vs the Rest of The World.
Stars included Zinedine Zidane, Ryan Giggs, Robbie Williams, Gordon Ramsay, and Woody Harrelson, but with the sides tied 2-2 at the end of normal time, the match went to penalties for an exciting finish.
Proceeds from the encounter went to UNICEF as footballers and celebrities contested the SoccerAid trophy.
