  • 0' The game is set. Serbia kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Serbia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' Brazil manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Filipe Luis is hanging Marcelo on the field on 10 minute.
  • 15' Serbia seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 20' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' 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.
  • 33' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Adem Ljajic.
  • 36' What a strike from Paulinho! The score is 0-1.
  • 41' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Brazil that had 28 games and scored 53 goals.
  • 46' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Serbia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 48' A meaty challenge results in booking for Nemanja Matic on 48.
  • 53' 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.
  • 58' It’s high time Mladen Krstajic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 63' Supporters expect more eagerness from Adem Ljajic, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 66' It is a substitution in Brazil team. Paulinho is replaced by Fernandinho on 66 minute.
  • 68' Goal! Thiago Silva scores his 13 goal in 520 matches.
  • 71' Aleksandar Mitrovic is having his name booked by the referee on 71.
  • 75' The supporters are chanting for Andrija Zivkovic. He replaces Adem Ljajic on 75 minute.
  • 80' Renato Augusto has so much to prove this time. He replaces Philippe Coutinho on 80 minute.
  • 82' The supporters are chanting for Nemanja Radonjic. He replaces Filip Kostic on 82 minute.
  • 87' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 89' Luka Jovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Aleksandar Mitrovic on 89 minute.
