89' - Mexico's third corner of the game is headed clear, yet Guardado's long range effort has the home crowd gasping as it hits the top of the net. Just over the bar!

88' - Marcelo brought down in the box, contact made but nothing given. Went down a little too easily there...

85' - CHANCE! Luis Gustavo wins a Brazil freekick, which is whipped in by Neymar, and Ochoa makes yet a nother fine save from a powerful Thiago Silva header! Ochoa with a stellar performance this evening!

One change at the break as the carded Ramires makes way for the youngest player in the Brazilian squad, Bernard.

10' - CHANCE! Great work from Oscar on the left, plays in a ball for Fred who hits the side-netting. Off-side though. Brazil starting to look dangerous.
