    "This has really livened up. Guillermo Ochoa has had a very good season with Ajaccio in France. I think he is a very good goalkeeper and as you can see he is quite a calm figure in the goal. A terrific save down low to his right from an excellent Neymar header."

    Neymar

    It's an option that no doubt Neymar would take himself, but you can watch every move the Brazilian number 10 makes on and off the ball should you wish.

    "A marvellous cross and a great leap from Neymar."

  4. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:26 British Summer Time 17 June 2014

    And what a save that is! At the other end Dani Alves bends in a peach of a cross, Neymar gets up to beat his man in the air and flick the ball toward the corner, only for Guillermo Ochoa to make a one-handed save. Quality stuff, and this game is coming to life.

    "That should be a corner for Mexico. Hector Herrera hits a good strike with power and it's dipping. Julio Cesar makes a good save."

    Lovely run from Oribe Peralta, as the Mexicans threaten for the first time. He beats one man before being wrestled off the ball. He could have had a good penalty shout there but stayed on his feet.

    Moments later Hector Herrera cannons in a shot from 25 yards which Julio Cesar turns over. The Mexicans are coming...

    I'm not sure Marouane Fellaini is 'dominating' the World Cup...

    Yasin:, external Got to say Mourinho was right. Oscar is the best player for Brazil or possibly in the World Cup so far, sublime touch.

    The Special One:, external Players who haven't done well in domestic season are dominating in the world cup already e.g. Neymar, Fellaini and RVP.

    Rob Clements:, external Hazard has the premiership headlines but Oscar is going to completely outplay him this World Cup.

    "I don't really know what to say about that shot, it was from about 35 yards out and Luiz Gustavo got a few jeers from the crowd.

    "Mexico to me look to be tiring just a little bit, they stopped pressuring Brazil and given the ball away a few times. They will have to get some of their energy back if they are to beat this Brazil side on home soil.

    "Three or four times Brazil have revealed a weakness on the Mexico left. Paul Aguilar's defensive capabilities have been exposed and Oscar has twice gotten past him too easily. It seems to me like that is where the goal is going to be coming from."

    Dani Alves into Fred - great ball but the big lad is just offside. He went too early. Mexico will be pleased with this, they've soaked up plenty of Brazilian ball without any real scares.

    Donato:, external Good to hear a passionate Brazilian crowd which was positively lacking in opening game.

    Jamie Brilley:, external I don't think this ref is strong enough for this game. Too afraid to punish the players.

    Benson Eji:, external Neymar is positively on fire.

    Luiz Gustavo, don't ever do that again.

    The anchorman shoots left-footed from 35 yards and it's as bad as you imagine it to be. Dire, and he sheepishly trots back to halfway.

    Brazil have had 70% of the ball so far but they've not forced Guillermo Ochoa into a save.

    I spent two evenings with thousands of Mexico fans in Germany eight years ago. They know their way around a party and they are making their contribution heard despite being hugely outnumbered.

    Neymar is fouled again. He is getting some treatment.

    BBC Sport's Ben Smith in Fortaleza

    "Fascinating opening to the game. Brazil have taken time to find their rhythm but they now appear to have a measure of control on this game.

    "The atmosphere inside Estadio Casteloa is nothing short of incredible. The Mexico fans are generating a huge amount of noise and that is, in turn, pushing the Brazilian fans up another notch. Breathless start, brilliant atmosphere."

    Go on Fred! The lumbering target man causes havoc in the box after a jinking run from Neymar and Marcelo almost finds a man with a cross from the left.

    Has there ever been a less Brazilian striker than Fred? What a handful.

    "The fans were up and down the sea front at 5.30am and all the locals had something to do with Brazil on. Incredible."

    Four Mexican players have only had one touch each so far, but they are compact. Tackles flying in form both sides.

    Jon Gilbert:, external All those fans wearing the yellow top almost makes the ground look half empty.

    Fred!

    No, he hits the side-netting, and was offside anyway, but what a pass from Oscar to pick the big man out. Lovely stuff, outside of the foot bender from the left wing. Oscar having a cracker of a World Cup so far.

    "There were three occasions when Mexico's players felt they'd been fouled and the first foul the referee blows for is for one on Neymar in the Mexican half. Do you think he might be feeling the pressure from the crowd today?

    "What I like about Mexico's back five is that it quickly turns into a back three allowing the two wing-backs to fly forward. They are going to try and cause Brazil problems, which is great to see."
