Neymar's second-half equaliser rescued a draw for Brazil as they shared the spoils with Colombia in Miami. Casemiro had given the Selecao the lead in the first half, only for Luis Muriel's brace to turn the match on its head before the break.

Match Events

19' GOAL! Brazil 1-0 Colombia (Casemiro)

The Real Madrid midfielder climbs highest in the area to meet Neymar's corner and head past the helpless Ospina.

25' Penalty Goal! Brazil 1-1 Colombia (Muriel)

The referee points to the spot and Colombia have a golden opportunity to equalise and Muriel steps up and calmly sends Ederson the wrong way.

34' GOAL! Brazil 1-2 Colombia (Muriel)

The turnaround is complete as Colombia hit Brazil with a devastating counter that results in Zapata feeding Muriel, who fires past Ederson.

53' MISS! Coutinho's shot inches wide

Coutinho works some space before drilling the ball low across the face of goal, but none of his team-mates react quickly enough to get the vital touch.

58' GOAL! Brazil 2-2 Colombia (Neymar)

Brazil's talisman is in the right place at the right time to tuck away Alves' square ball and level matters in Miami.

74' Sanchez’s foul on Neymar overlook by ref

Neymar does not have a particularly favourable one is this game either courtesy of Sanchez, whose strong shoulder barge sends his sprawling into the advertising hoardings behind the goal. The talisman is back on his feet, albeit slightly annoyed by the challenge.

84' CHANCE! Neymar's shot blocked
