29 min: The first-rate bypass through Neymar from inside his half rewards a clever run by Jesus. The City forward dashes into the field, which places a defender on the ground with a slinky feint. But a 2nd defender hurls himself in front of Jesus’ shot, creating a critical block.

24 min: After Brazil knocks the ball around half of the net for a piece, zips forward, and eats players inside the field, with endurance and much like an anan ent. Then he nudges a brief bypass via Neymar, who spoons a shot towards aim from a tough angle at the corner of the six-yard box. Stojkovic makes a nice one-pass store.

17 min: Lots of dinky probing through Serbians across the Brazilian box. Ultimately, Miranda steps before Mitrovic to intercept a through ball from Ljajic. “Firmino has to be beginning in advance of both Jesus and Paulinho!” blasts Mike Mackenzie, with whom I agree. “Coutinho may be essential to the path. However, Brazil truly desires Firmino’s ability set and works to maximize their offense.”

Brazil substitution: Filipe Luis, Marcelo off. Marcelo was, it appears, in no state to maintain. He seemed sick, maybe even disoriented, as he walked off and was helped closer to the dressing room by two teams of workers and participants.

9 min: Marcelo is determined to prevent the suit; he kicked the ball out of play and demanded treatment. The ref seems puzzled. Marcelo is on his toes; however, he’s preserving his head as if to signify it’s sore: not certain whether or not he’s unwell or is suggesting he has been hit. After speaking to him, the ref waves for play to keep. But Marcelo remains in front of the dugout, looking forward to a substitution to be made. He is not well.
