At the second time in the camp of the Brazilians came out another striker - Firmino replaced Willian. There were several points where the nominal hosts demanded a penalty from Milorad Majic, but the Serb did not point to the "point". In the final moments, the Brazilians increased the tempo. Douglas Costa broke into the penalty area and punched - Courtois team rescued, and finishing blocked by defenders. And just a couple of minutes there was a goal - Phillipe Coutinho gently hung into someone else's penalty area, where Renato Augusto hit the ball sent the ball into the corner of the gate. 1: 2.
