    FT: Serbia 0 - 2 Brazil! The full-time whistle rings out in Moscow and there's a mix of jubilation and despair. Brazil are through to the Round of 16 thanks to goals from Paulinho and Thiago Silva but Serbia are heading home! The 2-0 victory seals Brazil's place at the top of Group E, where they will play Mexico.
  • 90'
    Three minutes added on in Moscow.
  • 88'
    Final sub for Serbia: Mitrovic off, Jovic on.
  • 86'
    SAVE!! A perfectly-executed flick over the defence was met by Neymar but Stojkovic was quick off his line to block the resulting shot!
  • 83'
    Willian pulls a cross back to Neymar but his effort from 16 yards flies just over the crossbar!

at Brasil
  • 80'
    Brazil make their final substitution: Coutinho off, Augusto on.
  • 74'
    Serbia make their first change: Ljajic off, Zivkovic on.
  • 73'
    Brazil are pressing for a third here. They want to lay down a warning to whoever faces them in the Round of 16, which looks like Mexico at the moment.
  • 71'
    SAVE!! Stojkovic does well to parry away a swerving long-range effort from Felip Luis!
  • 70'
    Mitrovic is booked by the referee for his protests. He too would miss Serbia's next match if they manage a mircle here!
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Brasil en el 68'
  • 68'
    GOAL!! BRAZIL!! Thiago Silva fights his way to the near post before rising the highest to head a corner into the back of the net to make it 2-0 to Brazil! Surely that's game over?
Substitution

Substitution

at Brasil
  • 66'
    Brazil make their second change: Paulinho off, Fernandinho on.
  • 64'
    Mitrovic rises high to meet a lofted cross but he cannot get enough power behind his header and Alisson comfortably catches.
  • 61'
    SERBIA SHOULD HAVE SCORED!! A cross from the right is foolishly punched out by Alisson but the rebound falls perfectly for Mitrovic to head home. Except, there is a Brazilian defender in the way and Alisson can gather!!
  • 57'
    SAVE!!! Coutinho puts Neymar through on goal and you would expect the forward to find the back of the net but Stojkovic stands tall and blocks the shot to give Brazil a corner.
  • 55'
    Costa Rica have handed Serbia a lifeline. They have equalised against Switzerland so if Serbia were to secure a victory against Brazil, they would go through!
  • 53'
    The corner is a waste and Serbia break quick down the right. However, Tadic cannot find a team-mate in the box with his cut-back and it is intercepted.
  • 52'
    Brazil win a corner after Sergej intercepts a dangerous cross from the right by Willian.
  • 49'
    Matic picks up a yellow for bringing down Jesus. He would miss the next game if Serbia manage to get through.
  • 46'
    Serbia get the second half underway!
  • 45'
    HT: Serbia 0 - 1 Brazil! Paulinho's 35th-minute goal has given Brazil a small lead at half-time. As things stand, the South American side are heading through to the last 16 while Serbia are heading home. If the European side want to change that, they need to score two goals in the second half!
  • 45'
    CLOSE!! Felipe Luis backheels the ball to Neymar on the left side of the box. The Paris Saint-Germain forward opens his body before curling a wonderful shot at goal which goes over by whiskers!!
  • 45'
    Two minutes added on to finish the half. Can Serbia find a late equaliser?
  • 41'
    Another Serbia corner is dealt with well by Brazil. They have defended resiliently in this first half.
  • 39'
    Serbia have a corner but Alisson is again there to punch clear the danger.
  • 37'
    That goal means Serbia must now score two or they are heading home. It's going to be a big ask!
  • 35'
    GOAL!! BRAZIL!! A beautiful ball by Coutinho flies over the Serbian defence and into the path of Paulinho who flicks it over Stojkovic and into the back of the net!! 1-0!!
  • 32'
    Neymar is taken out on the touch-line by Ljajic and his thousand rolls does enough to convince the referee that it deserved a yellow, which it definitely did.
  • 28'
    Jesus is back on the pitch but now Willian is down. He will be okay to continue but the Serbian players are certainly leaving their mark.
  • 26'
    Jesus us now down receiving treatment on his ankle after a clash with Sergej.
  • 25'
    CLOSE!!! The ball is put through to Paulinho on the left side of the area. The midfielder does well to get past a few defenders before Neymar picks up the ball and fires a curling shot just wide of the near post!
  • 22'
    Alisson is forced to come out and punch the corner and Brazil eventually deal with the danger.
  • 21'
    Now it's Fagner's turn to concede a corner. Serbia have a great chance.
  • 20'
    Serbia deal with the threat. Despite the early onslaught, Brazil haven't created any clear opportunities yet.
  • 19'
    Kolarov concedes a corner.
  • 18'
    Paulinho tries to get on the end of a long ball over the top of Serbia's defence but it's overcooked and Stojkovic gathers.
  • 15'
    Brazil do will to nullify the threat of Mitrovic. But Serbia are definitely growing in this half.
  • 14'
    Serbia win a corner after Alisson cannot stop a deflection reaching the goal-line.
  • 11'
    It's going to be interesting how this make-shift Brazilian defence deals with the threat of Mitrovic, who has been throwing his weight about so far.
  • 9'
    Felipe Luis comes on to take Marcelo's place. That is a big blow for Brazil!!
  • 8'
    Marcelo has made his way to the sideline and his participation looks over! Not sure where he picked up an injury but he won't be continuing...
  • 5'
    Despite the early chances, Serbia are making a contest of this. They look dangerous on the counter.
  • 4'
    CLOSE!! Neymar play through Jesus (who was offside) and the forward charges at goal. Stojkovic stands strong and blocks the resulting shot!
  • 2'
    Neymar does well to hold off a Serb to play through Coutinho on the edge of the area but the Barcelona midfielder sees his shot blocked by his own team-mate and the flag goes up for offside.
  • 1'
    Brazil get the match underway!

    The players have left the tunnel! Only the national anthems to go and we can start with the football!
  • PRVW
    A draw will be enough to take Brazil to the Round of 16 but Serbia need a win here after losing to Switzerland, who take on Costa Rica in the other fixture. It's set to be an interesting 90 minutes!
  • PRVW
    Germany's elimination from the competition has really opened up the Round of 16 for Group E. Whoever finishes first will take on Mexico, while the runners-up will face Sweden.
  • PRVW
    Serbia have made three changes to their side that agonisingly lost to Switzerland. Ivanovic, Tosic and Milivojevic have dropped to the bench in place of Veljkovic, Milenkovic and Ljajic.
  • PRVW
    As expected, Brazil hasn't made any changes to its line-up. Douglas Costa's injury means Willian retains his place in the starting XI, despite a poor performane against Costa Rica, while Fagner continues to play in Danilo's absence.
  • PRVW
    Brazil: Alisson; Miranda (c), Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Fagner; Casemiro, Paulinho, Coutinho; Willian, Neymar, Jesus.
  • PRVW
    Serbia: Stojkovic; Veljkovic, Milenkovic, Kolarov (c), Rukavina; Matic, Milinkovic-Savic, Tadic; Ljajic, Kostic, Mitrovic.
