00:15Wherever they go, whatever age group they are, everyone gets excited.
00:19Yes, I'm sure you're the same as me, thrilled to be here, seen them once.
00:24There's a carnival atmosphere outside the ground and inside the ground,
00:27and high expectation, seeing the legendary Brazilian striker Romario
00:33just a little bit earlier in the press room.
00:36Everyone's having their pictures taken with him.
00:39And away we go, Brazil from Gordiechuk.
00:51Good covering play from Sandro.
00:58Decent ball, free header, and Belarus have scored!
01:03Renan Bardini-Bressan, the Brazilian-born Belarusian, has headed them in front.
01:12What a goal!
01:16Sequence of passing there, which we expected obviously from Brazil.
01:20Got men forward, kept possession, had a good shape.
01:23This is a lovely ball out wide.
01:25Lots of Brazilian defenders in there.
01:27Nobody picks him up.
01:31He goes free into the penalty area.
01:34Easy header, downward, away from the goalkeeper.
01:38Slack marking at the back from Brazil.
01:41I think it's what the game needed.
01:44Hulk, goalkeeper comes out quickly.
01:46Hulk goes over.
01:47And I think the Japanese referee, quite rightly,
01:51says that Hulk was trying to make a mountain out of a molehill there.
01:56The goalkeeper just got there first, I thought.
02:00That's a lovely ball.
02:01Hulk's header.
02:02That wasn't too far away.
02:05An impressive start to the game for Hulk.
02:07Yes.
02:08Lots of touches.
02:09Started off on the right-hand side.
02:13Great ball into Pato.
02:16And it's 1-1.
02:18With a moment of real quality.
02:21Fantastic ball in by Neymar.
02:23Pato's header.
02:25It's one each.
02:28What a cross.
02:3315 minutes we've been looking for Neymar to do something special.
02:36Pato in the middle of the screen right now.
02:38Neymar just shifts the ball a yard.
02:40No one's marking him.
02:41You have to say he's still got a lot to do with the header.
02:43Just a glancer.
02:45Neymar just moves that ball.
02:47Shapes it in.
02:47It's an excellent ball.
02:49Well attacked from the centre-forward Pato as well.
02:55Bressan.
02:55Good try.
03:00Well, he's not shy, is he?
03:01Happy to have a go.
03:04Well, I'm sure for a guy.
03:06Oh, great play by Neymar.
03:09Well, first to control the high ball.
03:11Then to use his strength to shield it from the Belarusian defender.
03:15As well as a bit of skill.
03:17Kornilenko.
03:18Three trying to join him in this attack.
03:20Kornilenko.
03:20Takes on Juan.
03:21Beats him.
03:22Still going.
03:23And smashed away by Rafael.
03:26Only he could have squared it.
03:27There were two arriving.
03:29Alexeyevic was scored.
03:30Neymar to Hulk.
03:32Onto his left foot.
03:34That was the chance.
03:36Excellent.
03:40Good movement.
03:41Good play.
03:42What they do is they just isolate Hulk on the edge of the box.
03:45Obviously fakes to go to the right.
03:47Comes inside.
03:49Oh, great stuff.
03:53Well, great stuff with a little step over.
03:55But it only fooled Dennis Polyakov for a moment.
04:00And the cross didn't give Hulk much chance either.
04:03That's what the crowd want to see.
04:05A little bit more into trying to thread the balls into Pato.
04:08But a good first half.
04:10A fair result in my opinion.
04:12Well, some lovely little flashes from Brazil.
04:16But the first goal was scored by...
04:18Can one of those two break forward?
04:21He is trying to lob him.
04:24Well, I was watching the South African women's side.
04:30Their opening game.
04:31Mitri Baga.
04:32Oh, that's given away too.
04:34And here's Hulk.
04:34Hulk.
04:36Hato and Neymar in support.
04:40Excellent challenge.
04:41Politevic.
04:43Oscar.
04:45Oh, good little acceleration.
04:46Lovely change of pace from Oscar.
04:49Shot was high, but the change of pace was really enough.
04:53Oscar.
04:55Marcelo.
04:56Oh, good power behind the shot.
04:58Good save too.
05:00I think it was Kuzman up.
05:01The defender who just stopped Pato getting a free head run.
05:04It's Marcelo.
05:05The left back always pushed forward.
05:08Good shooting opportunity.
05:09It's always going to be hard of it.
05:12That's going to be a book in here, I'm sure.
05:14The Japanese referee is coming.
05:18Neymar.
05:22Oh, beautifully done.
05:23Yes.
05:24Not quite enough curl in the end, but beautifully done.
05:26Yeah.
05:27You can see what he's trying to do.
05:28And there's so many red shirts in front of him, closing him down and showing him inside.
05:33And here.
05:36Little ding ball.
05:37Back post.
05:38Oh, Oscar.
05:40Just beaten to it by a last-ditch Politevic challenge which saved a goal.
05:45Vargas challenge, good save.
05:47Gutor over the top.
05:50Credit to the referee.
05:51Played an advantage there.
05:53I think it was Dragoon who grabbed hold of Neymar.
05:55Allowed the play to go.
05:56Oscar carried the ball well.
05:58Strikes this one a lot better.
05:59As you can see though, it's straight at the goalkeeper.
06:01Belarus will hope to profit from high ball.
06:04Testing the keeper.
06:06I think that was going in, Steve.
06:08Yeah.
06:10I think it was.
06:11Guardini.
06:12Aggressin, the goal scorer.
06:16Shaping that towards the far.
06:17Pato.
06:18Very nice.
06:21Might be a yellow card there, certainly a free kick.
06:24Good shooting opportunity here.
06:28Great free from Pato here.
06:30Little Cruyff turn.
06:32And then he's away.
06:32Neymar, it's not.
06:33It's Hulk.
06:34It hit the wall.
06:35Sane handball.
06:37Neymar trying to get there.
06:38Neymar has got there.
06:41Oh, lovely change of direction.
06:44Really, really good change of direction.
06:46He's got the free kick.
06:47Be interested to see.
06:48I think it's Dragoon, the man who is down it is, for Belarus.
06:54Whether he was really.
06:57And so is Neymar.
06:58It's Neymar this time.
07:00Oh, it's magnificent.
07:02That's what everybody came to see.
07:07Neymar with a magnificent free kick.
07:10Brazil two.
07:12Belarus one.
07:14And that.
07:18Is magnificent.
07:19Really.
07:20Top draw.
07:22Well.
07:23I blame the goalkeeper here.
07:25The wall's covering the left-hand side of the goal.
07:27And you're covering the right.
07:29If the ball goes up and over the wall and in the net,
07:31I think you have to credit the strike of the ball.
07:34When it goes in your side, I think you're responsible.
07:37And I think he should have had it.
07:39It's a lovely free kick.
07:41Don't get me wrong.
07:41He gets it up and down.
07:45Oh.
07:45Oh, fantastic.
07:47Oscar.
07:47Corner.
07:51Wonder.
07:55Lovely little shimmy.
07:57Pato through to Neymar.
07:58The keeper's there.
08:03The change of pace.
08:05Hulk.
08:08Neymar must be handball, surely.
08:10The referee didn't see it, I tell you, but the assistant did.
08:14Strong challenge by Dragun.
08:16Marcelo still found Neymar.
08:19Who's somehow wriggled through two.
08:21Neymar still going.
08:23Fabulous run this.
08:24Neymar!
08:27What a tackle.
08:29It was a cruncher, wasn't it?
08:31Kuzminov.
08:31I'm tired.
08:32This is a book in here.
08:33It's going to be a card here.
08:34Yes.
08:34It's going to be...
08:36He made some positive substitutions.
08:40Neymar skipping away from Kuzminov.
08:43Neymar.
08:44That's a disappointing finish after a good run.
08:48Super romp, yeah.
08:51Well, Lucas was brought down.
08:55Sharp.
08:56Was perhaps a little near a goal.
08:58Oscar's going to have a go at this.
08:59Oh, it's a very good save.
09:02That was a top-class save.
09:05Well, it really was.
09:07On this occasion, it's going in on the side of the wall.
09:11But they're giving a good account of themselves, Belarus, today.
09:17Neymar.
09:21Neymar.
09:22Great stuff.
09:23Oscar.
09:24Brilliant goal.
09:28They saved the best for last.
09:31They did.
09:32And everybody's on their feet.
09:33Quite rightly so as well.
09:36That is the best in Brazil we've seen.
09:39Yeah.
09:39Even the coaches clapping.
09:40Just wonderful.
09:43Unselfish play from Neymar.
09:45Great running off the ball.
09:47They've thrown everybody forward.
09:48Is he offside?
09:50It was the last and the best action of the game.
09:57Scored by Oscar.
09:59Created quite beautifully by Neymar.
10:03Brazil have been very good today.
10:06Not absolutely brilliant but very good.
10:08And good enough.
10:10For a talented Belarus side who can take lots of positives from this.
10:16But they can't take any points.
10:18Brazil are definitely...
