Overview
Brazil were made to wait till their last group game to make their way into the quarters, with a 4-0 win over Denmark, having been held to a 0-0 draw against South Africa and Iraq in the previous two games. With a must win game on the horizon, the South American side came alight with brilliant performances from Manchester City new boy Gabriel Jesus and Gabigol to pull them out of their stupor.
However, there was a scare for Brazil as Neymar went down in the 70th minute clutching his foot in what looked like a serious ankle injury. However, he has thus confirmed that he will be fit for the fixture, which will come as a massive relief for fans. Gabigol scored two in the game to cap off a brilliant performance and the nation will be hoping that the goal scoring streak will continue till later in the tournament.
Meanwhile, Colombia have managed to come out of what was a difficult group, at the expense of Sweden and Japan. The Los Cafeteros finished their first two games with a 2-2 scoreline but managed a 2-0 win over an in form Nigeria to ensure qualification to the knockout phase of the event.
