TOLO STOPS ANTONY
The Manchester United winger likes his chances against Tolo, but the defender stood strong there.
12'
JESUS MISSES THE PASS
Quick passing from Brazil's midfielder opens up the Cameroon backline and the pass arrives, but Gabriel Jesus doesn't read the play and the ball runs dead.
11'
GOOD HEADER WOOH
A dangerous Dani Alves cross is headed away.
10'
CAUTIOUS CAMEROON
The Indomitable Lions are still finding their way into this match with some cautious passing.
9'
MARTINELLI OFFSIDE
The Arsenal forward was well clear of his marker, but wastes the attack by standing in an offside position.

TOLO BOOKED
Cameroon's left-back will have a tough job now, having been booked after a late tackle on Antony. Antony had turned him easily and was racing away when the Cameroonian lunged in.
He can't make any more such rash tackles.

There's no sense of desperation from the African side in these early minutes, despite the fact that they need a win tonight.
3'
MBEUMO FINDING SPACE
Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo has twice found himself in acres of space down the Brazilian left.
A threat for Brazil to watch.

HUGE EARLY CHANCE
Antony skips down the right flank and plays in Rodrygo but no one can get a clean touch on his layoff in the box and the chance goes begging.

CAN BRAZIL WIN 3/3?
The South Americans have made the perfect start to their World Cup campaign in Qatar, winning their opening two matches.
Four teams in history have won every game en route to winning the tournament. Brazil were one in 2002.
Can they take another step in that direction with a victory tonight?
18.40
BRAZIL ROTATE HEAVILY
The South Americans are major favourites to win this evening, but they have made nine changes to their starting line up with progress to the next round assured.
Does this open the door for Cameroon to spring the upset they need?
