Halftime and 1-0 to Brazil thanks to a goal by Neymar in the third minute. A cross by Marcello was chested down by Fred, but replays showed it might have grazed his arm. Minutes later Julio Cesar did well to push a free kick that was "driven" by Honda. Also , late in the first half a shot by Hulk nearly crept inside the near post , but hit the side netting.

Brazil win 3-0 as substitute, Jo,the Citeh reject , scored the third in the last minute of stoppage time. It all started in the back as the ball broke to Oscar. He played a superb through ball and Jo shot under the keeper.
