Brazil are desperate to make a
powerful statement of intent in
Thursday's World Cup opener against
Croatia as they seek to relieve the
suffocating pressure that has
engulfed the team in the build-up
to the tournament. Catch all the live
updates here:
02:13 (IST): Neymar's freekick is
deflected away and the corner fails
to produce any result for Brazil.
02:06 (IST): The game is certainly
increasing in pace as both teams
look to take the lead with less than
10 minutes remaining in the first
half.
02:02 (IST): GOAL! Neymar makes it
1-1 for Brazil. Just minutes after
being booked he finds the back of
the net to make it 1-1 in the 30th
minute.
01:59 (IST): Neymar has the dubious
distinction of getting the first yellow
card of the FIFA World Cup 2014.
01:53 (IST): Pletikosa pulls off a
great save to deny Paulinho who
shoots hard towards the middle of
the goal.
01:45 (IST): GOAL! Marcelo creates
history by becoming the first
Brazilian to score an own goal in the
World Cup finals. Croatia lead 1-0 in
the 11th minute.
01:39 (IST): Olic fires in a header
but it is not enough and misses the
post by a whisker. Brazilian fans
certainly had their hearts in their
mouths.
