37' GOAL! Germany 0-1 Brazil (Jesus)
Goal! Gabriel Jesus heads Brazil into a 0-1 lead. Great play from Willian to set up the goal.
In the absence of Neymar, there was no plan to attack with abandon. Tite's side set up respectfully; as Paulinho, Fernandinho and Casemiro strengthened the midfield and a dogged front three of Willian, Gabriel Jesus and Coutinho counter-attacked.
Coutinho came closest to an early breakthrough, as his trickery deceived three Germans to burst into the penalty area. Soon after, Manchester City forward Jesus sprang the offside trap, working a clear sight of goal but blasting over the bar.
Yet he soon made amends, as Willian earned space on the right and curled a cross that Jesus headed with power towards the German goal. Goalkeeper Kevin Trapp reacted but could only fall backwards and spill the ball into the goal.
