11' NICE TRY! Coutinho's long shot inches wide out
Coutinho attempts a shot from outside the box, as he so frequently does, and pulls it wide left of goal. We've defintely seen him score from that distance in the past!
16' GOAL! Brazil 1-0 Qatar (Richarlison)
Brazil score and you have to say it was coming! Alves plays a short cross in to Richarlison who flicked the header past a diving Al Sheeb at the near post! That's the Everton man's fourth goal for the national team!
19' Neymar goes off injured
A troubling sight for Brazil as Neymar limps to the tunnel with a massive ice pack wrapped around his foot and ankle. He won't be able to continue and is replaced by Everton.
24' GOAL! Brazil 2-0 Qatar (Jesus)
Jesus gets Brazil their second of the match! Richarlison drove into the box and somehow managed to sneak the ball between two Qatar defenders and over to Jesus who finished the first-time effort from incredibly close range! It's all Brazil right now.
32' Coutinho wastes a golden chance
How has Coutinho missed that?! Alves attempted a shot from distance that struck the post and fell kindly to Coutinho who took a touch in-field before unleashing a curling shot at an empty net.... but he failed to hit the target!
73' CLOSE! Heidos' long shot wide out
96' Penalty Missed! Khoukhi to take the penalty... but no!
Incredibly late penalty shout from Qatar as Ederson made contact with Al Ahrak after touching the ball... and it's been given by VAR! Khoukhi steps up to take the penalty... but no! He's hit the underside of the crossbar and it's stayed out!
Match Report
Brazil stepped up their preparations for the Copa America with a 2-0 win over Qatar, but Neymar suffered a potentially serious injury.
First-half goals from Richarlison and Gabriel Jesus guided Brazil past Asian Cup champions Qatar in Wednesday's international friendly.
But, Brazil were left sweating on Neymar's fitness after the Paris Saint-Germain star was carried away in tears with an apparent lower leg injury in the 21st minute.
