6' CHANCE! Neymar's free-kick saved
Decent chance! Neymar goes for goal from the free-kick, he gets the ball over the wall and it flies towards the bottom corner of the goal. However, there isn't enough pace on the shot and Campana gets down well and pushes the ball away to safety.
11' DISALLOWED GOAL! Neymar's shot offside
GOAL RULED OUT! Lovely football by Brazil! Filipe Luis does well down the left, gets into the box and fires a low cross-shot towards goal, which Neymar turns home in the six yard box from just a couple of yards out. However, Neymar was just a fraction too early making his run and the offside flag is immediately raised.
22' CLOSE! Alisson tips over from Suarez shot
AVE! Suarez presses the Brazil defence high up the pitch and manages to win the ball back on the edge of the area, after a mistake by Danilo. The striker cuts inside and fires a shot at goal which Alisson has to react quickly to, tipping the ball over the crossbar. Best chance of the game for Uruguay so far.
45' CHANCE! Cavani's shot denied by Alisson
Big opportunity for Uruguay right at the end of the half! Luis Suarez picks Cavani out perfectly at the far post with a lofted cross. The PSG striker is completely unmarked and only has Alisson to beat, but he doesn't get the correct contact on the ball, firing it into the ground and Alisson makes a strong save to deny him.
50' CHANCE! Suarez's shot saved by Alisson
76'Penalty Goal! Brazil 1-0 Uruguay (Neymar)
BRAZIL PENALTY! Laxalt kicks the foot of Danilo as he goes to turn and strike the ball, bringing the right-back down just inside the penalty area. It's a genuine effort to go for the ball but he is just fractions too late and he brings the Brazilian down. Uruguay are furious with the decision.
GOOOAAALLL! Neymar converts from the penalty spot and Brazil lead 1-0! As cool as you like fom Neymar, sliding the ball into the bottom corner, which Campana diving the other way. That's his 60th international goal.
Neymar converts the penalty to give Brazil a 1-0 lead.
83' CHANCE! Richarlison's shot wide out
What a ball from Neymar, he picks out Richarlison perfectly in the box and the Everton man just has Campana to beat. However, he gets his angles all wrong and his sidefoot volley just wide of the goal. That should've gone into the back of the net.
Match reports
Neymar scored a controversial penalty as Brazil beat Uruguay 1-0 in a tightly fought friendly at Emirates Stadium.
A resilient display from Uruguay's makeshift defence looked set to end Brazil's winning run, but Tite's side were handed a lifeline when referee Craig Pawson deemed that Diego Laxalt had fouled Danilo.
Uruguay had enjoyed the better of the chances prior to the penalty incident, with Alisson having made a series of fine saves to deny Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani.
But, despite a hint of handball from Danilo in the build up to the penalty incident and what looked to be an exaggerated fall from the defender, Uruguay's protestations fell on deaf ears as Neymar stepped up to secure Brazil's fifth straight win.
