Navas's Goal-saving skills will be put to test against the Brazilians

The shot-stopper impressed one and all in the last edition of the World Cup in 2014 and has gone from strength to strength since then, joining the Spanish club Real Madrid and helping them win a number of trophies, including three Champions League titles.

Against Serbia, the 31-year-old looked comfortable in goal as he punched cleared a couple of set-piece deliveries and made a vital save in the second half to deny Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Navas knows what it takes to win big matches and on Friday, he will be tasked with keeping the Brazilians at bay.

With Real Madrid reportedly set to part ways with the Costa Rican, the game against Brazil can be his springboard as he would like to lure big European clubs with some good glove-work.
