Match Events
5. WHAT A CHANCE! Allan's shot saved
Early chance for Allan! Sandro chips a clever pass into the Cameroon box and towards Allan. The midfielder latches on to the ball and quickly shoots, but Onana does well to tip it out of play for a corner.
8. Neymar forced off with injury
Bad news for both Brazil and Paris Saint-Germain, as Neymar hobbles off to be replaced by Richarlison with only eight minutes on the clock.
45. GOAL! Brazil 1-0 Cameroon (Richarlison)
GOAL! It's 1-0 to Brazil! Willian's cross from the resulting corner is brilliantly placed, setting up Richarlison to beat Onana with an excellent header. The goalkeeper was never going to stop that!
54: SO CLOSE!!! Jesus hits the post!
Jesus hits the post! Brazil immediately fly forward on a quick attacking move and carve out a great opportunity through the Manchester City forward. He takes advantage of rash goalkeeping from Ondoa but can only smash the woodwork from the edge of the penalty area.
Match reports
Neymar was injured in Brazil's win against Cameroon, but Richarlison took his chance to impress in the captain's place.
Allan worked Onana early on after a smart turn in the area, yet Brazil were soon distracted by Neymar's ailment and consequent withdrawal.
Minds were perhaps still elsewhere when Arthur's dallying presented Pierre Kunde with a clear opening that he dragged well wide, but Tite's men were soon back on the attack and Onana brilliantly denied Roberto Firmino from close range.
Although Onana was at his best again before the break to turn away a Firmino header, the goalkeeper was soon beaten as Richarlison crashed home Willian's corner.
A bright start to the second half saw Stephane Bahoken poke agonisingly wide at one end, before substitute keeper Fabrice Ondoa incredibly presented Gabriel Jesus with an open goal as he rushed from his line, the Manchester City forward striking the post from a tight angle.
Arthur, too, worked the woodwork with a curler against the crossbar, while Ondoa atoned for his earlier error with a stunning double-stop from Jesus and Richarlison to limit Brazil, who were comfortable in the closing stages, to just the one goal.
