23'
Switzerland are now apparently trapped in the centre third of the pitch and unable to think of anything else to do.

Alisson falls to his knees with joy at the other end of the pitch.

GOAL! And that's Philippe Coutinho, doing Philippe Coutinho things. Edge of the box, beautiful first touch, and an accurate curling biff of a second.

17'
Gabriel Jesus picks up a lovely ball and tries an angled cross from the left, but Sommer is again quick off his line to smother it.
16'
Neymar takes the free kick but it's not good and it's straight into the wall.
14'
Neymar is upended centrally by Behrami, who might as well be holding up a sign reading, "Book me please".
13'
Gabriel Jesus lifts in a ball from the left towards Willian at the far post again, but he misjudges the distance and it's out for a goal kick.

CLOSE! That falls to Paulinho at the far post, who's in acres of space, but Sommer gets his fingertips to it to nudge it away from the goal.
11'
Willian is fizzing in a few of those nice square crosses at the moment.
9'
Switzerland are stroking the ball around from the back now as Brazil stand off them.
8'
Rodriguez gallops down the left, linking up well with Zuber, but again Thiago Silva steps in. Very end to end so far.
7'
Zuber is hard pushed to get anywhere near a direct ball up the field, and Thiago Silva deals with it comfortably.
6'
Willian skims a ball across the face of goal, with everyone else in the box standing too far backwards to even attempt a touch.
5'
Brazil opt for a long ball forward but nobody seems to know what to do with it, and Switzerland deal with it easily. That's probably why they're opting for short passes.
4'
Neymar wins a free kick in his own half, and it's taken short as Brazil continue to work the ball around at their own pace.
-
Dzemaili has the first chance of the evening, shinning his shot over the bar as he leans too far backwards.
3'
Alisson spreads it to the left flank and Brazil knit together a web of passes, not pushing too high up the field.

1'
Brazil get us under way this evening after the obligatory countdown.
18:55
And time for the national anthems.
