- 37' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Thiago Silva made 520 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 73' The supporters are chanting for Renato Augusto. He replaces Paulinho on 73 minute.
- 76' Sensational shot from Renato Augusto. Brazil is back in the lead.
