Brazil are into the stride now, all dinked passes, stepovers and creativity. Switzerland are being pushed back, almost to the byeline.

Paulinho is four yards out but he scuffs his shot dreadfully and pulls it past Sommer's left hand post. What a miss. He should have buried it.

Should be 1-0! The first glimpses from Brazil, pulling the Swiss from side to side. It bounces around, eventually falling to Paulinho on the edge of the six-yard box. The shot is scuffed, but Yann Sommer still has to tip it around the post. The ref gives a goal-kick, too.

It has been a good start from Switzerland. There were some people who thought his was going to be a forgone conclusion ahead of kick-off. Switzerland have to be brave tonight and they have started well.

The Swiss full-backs are bombing on,getting chalk on their boots. Remember, Switzerland are the sixth ranked team in the world. They've started this match like it, too.

More room for the Swiss to dance, this time down the left. Danilo, though, starts a counter, with Philipe Coutinho galloping into Switzerland territory. When Neymar gets it, he wants to run. We might need two balls. One for Neymar, one for everyone else.

I think Granit Xhaka is a lucky boy, you can't do that. Clear tug on Neymar. He's had words the referee, Xhaka should have been carded.

Xhaka, never short of a card, was pretty lucky not to go in the book for that scythe on Neymar. Watchable stuff, this.There's space in Brazilian defence for the Swiss to get at.

Really wonderful noise, ramped up when Neymar gets sat down by Granit Xhaka. Willian gets down the right, but his cross flashes across goal.

If you have anything lying around your house that makes you look like Neymar, send me a picture. A yellow mophead would do the trick. Or some spaghetti.

Vaishach: Neymar needs to go to Pogba for his haircut options.

Mike: Adding Neymar and Marcelo the 'Golden Barnet' list.

It's about staying in the game for Switzerland in the early stages. It will be interesting to see whether Brazil chase the game or just sit back at the start.

The Swiss has started nicely. Northern Ireland fans won't need reminding that Switzerland's passage to Russia came via a very dodgy penalty decision in the qualifying play-off. Brazil can't get out their own half yet. Blerim Dzemaili is picked out by Xherdan Shaqiri, but the shot is scuffed.

The lush green is wonderfully manicured. Stripes go from touchline to touchline. Good noise.

A huge roar greets the kick-off. Switzerland on the attack down the right early. Is that a few empty seats I can see?

It would be unthinkable for Brazil not to win this game. But the Swiss team have lost one in 22 so they will dig deep. Their issue is up front because Switzerland are going to have to get up the pitch and they will need a focal point.

A prayer from Brazil keeper Alisson. We're under way...

Both teams are in the colours you would expect. Brazil in gold and blue, Switzerland in red and white. Brazil will attack the goal to the right in the first half.

Ekemini: All the pre-tournament favourites have hugely underperformed and failed to live up to expectations so far. Makes me wonder what Brazil is going to serve up in the next few minutes

Ben: Neymar...brilliant player, terrible haircut!
