Half-Time analysis for Brazil

J.Cesar: Has yet to be called into action.

D.Alves: Waited patiently before toe-punting the ball past the goalkeeper and inside the far post.

D.Luiz: Picked up an early yellow card for a foul on Quintero.

Dante: Distributing the ball nicely from the back.

Marcelo: Offering a reliable route forward as Brazil continue to struggle through the middle.

Ramires: Giving the ball away far too often.

L.Gustavo: See above.

Hulk: Shifting about the attacking third but yet to really make an impact.

Oscar: Moving from the centre to the right and wherever he can make room for himself.

Neymar: He is now just two goals back of Brazil legends Ronaldinho and Jairzinho.

Fred: Barely involved in the first half.
