Brazil vs Costa Rica: 5 Talking Points, World Cup 2018

#5 Brazil finally hit their stride

Neymar's late goal sealed the win for Brazil

For 90 minutes, it looked like Brazil were going to struggle to reach the knockout stages. Two draws in two games were not going to do them any good considering the opposition in their group.

The Selecao were the first team to qualify for the World Cup and had wowed the world with their displays after Tite had taken over from a disappointing Dunga. Once he took over, Brazil were a joy to watch and that samba football was on display when the pressure was off them.

If the Switzerland game was a disappointment, the two late, late goals against Costa Rica will only boost Brazil's confidence going into the final game.

Brazil are top of the group for now - at least until Serbia play Switzerland. A favourable result there could see them stay top too.

But Brazil have well and truly arrived. That second half performance only affirmed why the five-time champions are one of the favourites for the tournament.
