Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Serbia to score. At the same time, Brazil does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Milos Veljkovic is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Serbia.
  • 10' The whistle greets Marcelo as he departs to be replaced by Filipe Luis.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Miranda made 496 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Brazil that had 31 games and scored 59 goals.
  • 25' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Thiago Silva suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' Brazil come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 33' A moment of madness from Adem Ljajic on 33 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Serbia will be frustrated.
  • 36' Brazil is taking the lead after the goal scored by Paulinho on 36.
  • 41' It looks like no one’s ball. Brazil is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 46' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 48' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Nemanja Matic.
  • 53' Brazil is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 58' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 63' It looks surprising Serbia does not make any changes. Philippe Coutinho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 66' Time for substitution for Brazil. Paulinho is replaced by Fernandinho.
  • 68' Assisted by Neymar with the perfectly-timed delivery and Thiago Silva makes no mistake. 0-2!
  • 71' A meaty challenge results in booking for Aleksandar Mitrovic on 71.
  • 75' Another change for Serbia made on 75 minute. Adem Ljajic leaves to be changed by Andrija Zivkovic.
  • 80' Renato Augusto gets the nod from Brazil. He replaces Philippe Coutinho and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 82' The whistle greets Filip Kostic as he departs to be replaced by Nemanja Radonjic.
  • 87' The home supporters are growing impatient. Serbia must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 89' The whistle greets Aleksandar Mitrovic as he departs to be replaced by Luka Jovic.
  • The final score is 0-2.
