Clinical Goals Secure Back-to-Back Wins
Game Summary
After a disappointing start to their 2018 FIFA World Cup campaign, Brazil bounced back with a crucial 2-0 victory over Costa Rica. Late goals from Philippe Coutinho and Neymar secured the win, breathing new life into the team's hopes for progression.
The match was a tale of missed opportunities for both sides. Brazil dominated possession but struggled to create clear-cut chances, while Costa Rica defended resolutely and threatened on the counterattack. However, the introduction of Coutinho and Neymar proved decisive.
Coutinho broke the deadlock in the 91st minute, curling a beautiful free-kick into the top corner. Neymar then sealed the victory in stoppage time, tapping home from close range after a mazy run from Willian.
The win puts Brazil in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages. They will face Serbia in their final group game, needing just a draw to secure a top-two finish.
