Brazil 2-0 Serbia
Richarlison is the first Brazilian player to score twice on his World Cup debut after Neymar in 2014.
Brazil 2-0 Serbia
He has two goals to his name. This is Richarlison's first of this evening...

Look at the way Richarlison improvises for that finish - it comes to him unexpectedly and he takes one touch, swivels and volleys it beautifully into the bottom corner.
A really good connection, an emphatic finish - totally in form, this man.
We talked about what this jersey does to a player - he's not scored many for Spurs but when he's in his national jersey he can't stop scoring.
Brazil 2-0 Serbia
Two changes for Brazil, both of which seemed to be planned before Richarlison's second goal.
On comes Fred for Lucas Paqueta to further shield the defence. Vinicius Jr is also withdrawn, presumably to protect him, with Rodrygo on to provide fresh legs in attack.
Richarlison
Smells of goals? He stinks of the things!
This is a brilliant finish. Really good. Vinicius Jr's ball in is actually miscontrolled by Richarlison but he doesn't miss a beat, swivelling to volley in his second of the game.
Brazil surely home and dry now, thanks to the Spurs forward.
Brazil 1-0 Serbia
Serbia have never won a World Cup match when conceding first, losing all five previous matches.
Brazil 1-0 Serbia
Still no changes for Brazil with less than 20 minutes to go. They're not short of attacking options off the bench.
Brazil 1-0 Serbia
Chances!
Danilo clears the ball away from the line from the corner before Sergej Milinkovic-Savic rises to head the ball back into the melee. Brazil stand firm and see off the threat, which ends with a fluffed shot from range.
Brazil 1-0 Serbia
Serbia are definitely having a go now. They win another corner.

They win the header from the corner too. Strahinja Pavlovic can't keep his effort down.

Brazil will want that second goal and put the game to bed as soon as possible.
Brazil 1-0 Serbia
Serbia have to come out now.
A corner is a fine way to start.

Serbia need to get the ball wide to their wing-backs whenever they can.
They have two strikers up there now who are renowned for getting on the end of things.
Brazil 1-0 Serbia
Slip sliding away!
Neymar is stopped in full flight but Brazil come again and Vinicius Jr has a sight of goal from an angle. Just as he is about to hit it, his standing foot looses its grip and the ball bobbles wide in ugly fashion.
Brazil 1-0 Serbia
Serbia react to going behind by sending on Darko Lazovic and highly-rated Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic.

Richarlison proving again that Spurs fans are right, and Arsenal/Liverpool fans are wrong.

Brazil 1-0 Serbia
Richarlison has scored eight goals in his last seven games in all competitions for Brazil.
Brazil have avoided defeat in their last seven matches when scoring the opening goal in the World Cup dating back to 2 July, 2010 against Netherlands (lost 1-2).
Brazil 1-0 Serbia
Sasa Lukic is into the book for a reckless tackle.

Richarlison is in the right place at the right time but this is all about Neymar, the way he lets the ball run across his body it is absolutely brilliant.

He's a predator isn't he? He certainly sniffed that one out.
It's actually a decent save but how well does Richarlison react when it comes to him?
There's barely a moment before it comes to him and he's the first to react and anticipates it really well coming off the goalkeeper.
