    CLOSE! The ball runs out to Lo Celso on the edge of the box, but his rasping shot flies narrowly wide of Alisson's post!
  • 5'
    Neymar is dragged down by Dybala in his own half, in what could be a sign of things to come.
  • 3'
    A low-key start to this one. Argentina are happy to let Brazil control the ball inside their own half, before pressing as soon as they cross the halfway line.
  • 1'
    We're underway!
