• 120'
    Match point for Brazil. Reinier takes and it goes in!!!! Ochoa dives to his left, he guesses right again, he should save it as he dives over the ball and Brazil win 4-1 on pens!
  • 120'
    Rodriguez steps up and he hits a brilliant penalty!!! He sends the GK the wrong way and it goes into his top right hand corner! 3-1.
  • 120'
    Guimaraes with Brazil's 3rd. He shoots and scores!!! Ochoa goes the right way again (to his right), but it's in the corner)
  • 120'
    Martinelli with Brazil's 2nd. And that's a brilliant penalty!!! He hits it with power to Ochoa's left! The GK went the right way, but it was in the corner! 2-0 Brazil.
  • 120'
    Aguirre to take Mexico's first. That's a terrible penalty! It's soft, along the ground and neither in the middle nor in the corner. Santos dives to his right and it's easy for the GK.
  • 120'
    Dani Alves is taking Brazil's first penalty. He steps up and he scores!!! The GK goes to the right and gets a hand to it, but can't keep it out!

  • 90'
    End of regulation: Mexico 0-0 Brazil! We're going to ET! Apart from Richarlison's header which hit the post, it was an average 2nd half, to be fair. Brazil have been the better side, but a draw is probably right.

    90+2: Free-kick to Mexico in midfield and this will go to ET.
  • 90'
    90+2: Vega is replaced by Alvarado.

    Mexico get us going again!
  • 45'
    Mexico HT sub: Carlos Rodriguez is coming on for Esquivel.
  • 45'
    HT: Mexico 0-0 Brazil!! Half-time in Kashima and it's been an enjoyable 1st half. Brazil were the better team overall and forced a couple of saves out of Ochoa as well as having a penalty taken away by VAR. Mexico aren't out of this though and threatened twice on the counter through Romo and Antuna. It's all to play for in the second 45!
  • 45'
    45+2: Martin heads the corner behind and that's HT!

    Brazil are still looking the more dangerous.
  • 31'
    A bit of a coming together here and the ref calms them down.
  • 29'
    No penalty says the ref and a drop ball is given! That is very interesting. It's not a pen, but many times that isn't overturned.
  • 29'
    The ref is going to the screen. That's interesting.
  • 28'
    Penalty to Brazil after D Luiz is brought down by Esquivel. There is contact on his foot, but D Luiz has thrown himself to the ground there. Not really a penalty, but I doubt it will be overturned.
  • 25'
    Brazil are continuing to have possession.
  • 23'
    Alves!!! That was hit with some force!! The powerful is hit to the side of the wall and Ochoa punches away!

  • 1'
    Chance for Brazil already!! Arana sends a dangerous cross into the area from this near side and Antony is inches away from tapping in!
