Will the floodgates now open? That’s what they came to see and it was a beautifully worked goal, made by Gustavo’s interception.

The crowd didn’t like it but wasn’t a yellow.

Bad challenge from Enoh on Marcelo and that’s a yellow card.

Cameroon proving they can break quickly and pose a threat. Dangerous to do against Brazil, of course.

Shot from Aboubakar blocked for a corner. Looked destined for the net. An important intervention.

Brazil force another corner. Neymar’s cross straight at Itandje.

CHANCE! Neymar plays it in but it misses Luiz and Cameroon clear. Hulk then pulls it back to Paulinho and he must score but bodies back to block on the line!
1'
Hulk pulled back on the edge of the box by Nguemo. First chance in the first minute…

Referee Jonas Eriksson blows the whistle to get us underway here in Brasilia. If Brazil are in the mood, this could be a goalfest.

FIVE MINUTES TO KICK-OFF: Their last meeting, at the 2003 Confederations Cup (19 June 2003), was won 1-0 by Cameroon, who celebrated an 83rd minute strike by Samuel Eto'o at the Stade de France in Saint Denis. Cameroon is the only African country that has ever beaten Brazil in a senior international match.
