INJURY TIMEpublished at 22:51 British Summer Time 23 June 2014
Willian has the chance to make it game, set and match to the Brazilians. But he drills a low, angled drive straight at grateful Cameroon keeper Charles Itandje. They're almost home and dry.

Four added minutes in Brasilia. It could be a long four minutes for Cameroon as Brazil continue to pour forward.

Gregory Mandapat:, external If not for Graham Zusi tying for USA against Panama in the final qualifier, Mexico wouldn't be in the World Cup. Viva El Tri!

RED CARDpublished at 22:47 British Summer Time 23 June 2014
Filth. Croatia substitute Ante Rebic has to go there, leaving a boot in high and dangerous on Carlos Pena. No need for it. Off you go.

Nope, it can't happen. Brazil appear to snuff out Mexico's hopes as quickly as they appeared. Substitute Fernandinho pokes home at the end of a lovely passing move which included a sumptuous pass from Oscar. Party time in Brasilia once again.

Ooh it can't happen, can it? Mexico are one goal away from pipping the Brazilians now. The excitable Miguel Herrera shows he is the Mexican equivalent of George Graham - as his team produce the old Bould-Adams set piece of the 1990s. Rafael Marquez flicks on a corner at the near post and Javier Hernandez swoops in at the back stick.

David Ornstein in Brasilia
BBC Sport"A standing ovation for Neymar as he makes way for Willian. The 22-year-old was walking gingerly after a heavy challenge but looked to be fine as he performed high fives with every member of Brazil's bench. He also exited without receiving a yellow card in the match, meaning that fitness permitting he will line up in the last 16."
How Group A standspublished at 22:38 British Summer Time 23 June 2014
Or is it a foregone conclusion that Brazil will play Chile and Mexico face the Netherlands? I should remind you that the Mexicans only need a two-goal swing to beat Brazil to top spot. Little over 10 minutes for that to happen. Come on Group A - let's have some more drama!

All over in Recife. All over in Group A. Mexico midfielder Andres Guardado fires in the second to put his nation all but into the last 16 and a tie against the Netherlands. Sensational scenes on the touchline as diminutive coach Miguel Herrera is bearhugged by his lanky keeper Guillermo Ochoa.

GOALpublished at 22:30 British Summer Time 23 June 2014
Hands up if you were surprised that Rafael Marquez is still kicking about the international scene? Yup, me too. But the old-timer rolls back the years by out-jumping Vedran Corluka to nod the Mexicans ahead. But what was Croatia keeper Stipe Pletikosa doing? Poor hands from him. His side are on their way back across the Atlantic.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 22:30 British Summer Time 23 June 2014
Neymar lets a scream as his chopped down by a Cameroon defender. Is that his last action? Yes, he is replaced by Willian.
