00:02There is no doubt that Brazil is a divided country. Our experience of the World Cup so far has been
00:08a truly favorable one.
00:10We know that's not been the case everywhere, but this is a Brazil side that are desperate to bring joy.
00:18He'll be taking his team home no matter what happens here today.
00:24Surely this is the day.
00:31Surely it's the moment that the real Brazil.
00:34Positioned almost by default.
00:36This is Holt back in the team.
00:37He's dragged back there by Henry Godemo.
00:42Holt immediately trying to raise the crowd.
00:46Ericsson from Swiss.
00:47It's a great pass into Holt. Fred is waiting.
00:49Paulinho couldn't sort his feet out. Still alive.
00:53Takes a deflection. Couldn't have gone anywhere.
00:57Latches onto that. Just couldn't bring it under control.
01:09There's no doubt that that's a foul by Eong Eno.
01:14Well that's the high energy pressing that we were talking about earlier Sam.
01:18Cameroon midfield. They've got it in spades. They really have.
01:23That's a little too aggressive from Eno.
01:27Shoupa Motting succeeded doing that and David Luiz was called into emergency action.
01:33It's a fantastic through ball from Abubakar.
01:37When Shoupa Motting gets into that area just five years.
01:39Shoupa Motting.
01:42Gustavo has just bundled Stefan and Beer to the floor.
01:49Shoupa Motting.
01:49From the back.
01:51Abubakar is making his presence felt.
01:52It's Abubakar who it's aimed towards.
01:55He couldn't match on the end of it.
01:57It was a decent delivery by Benjamin Makanjo.
02:00It's an excellent area to put the ball in.
02:02Look at Julio Cesar.
02:03He doesn't know what to do.
02:04He's set. He's planted.
02:06Any kind of contact.
02:13Slightly unnecessary.
02:21Leon might find himself in a little bit of trouble here.
02:35He needs to start though.
02:36Breaking things up.
02:37Looking for Neymar.
02:42He's done it again.
02:46It's our party and we'll tell you when we get it started.
02:51And it's starting now.
02:57And it's all about Luis Gustavo.
03:00Intercepting.
03:01Making things happen.
03:03And there he is again.
03:06His 34th goal in a Brazil shirt.
03:09Well it was inevitable Sam.
03:12You try and rile a star player.
03:14You try and get him under his skin.
03:16Give him a niggle.
03:17What does he go and do?
03:19It hurts you where it matters.
03:21Let me tell you what an outstanding finish that is.
03:24He really opens up his right foot.
03:26Just to guide it into the far corner.
03:29See many players miss kick that mate.
03:31Come off there.
03:32Neymar is the aim recipient.
03:33He's got it.
03:34And Charles Duton just tried to parry.
03:38Just about.
03:39Managed to divert it away.
03:43After the assault.
03:45Paulinho.
03:46Hulk is waiting on the edge of the area.
03:47Fred is there.
03:48Fred doing his absolute harness to try and squeeze it home.
03:54But the Cameroon defence once again is being picked apart.
04:00This is Abubakar.
04:02Trying to dazzle his way into the box.
04:04Held up by Thiago Silva in the end.
04:09He's a live wire too.
04:13Heno.
04:15Always taking a deflection.
04:17Almost outwitted Julio Cesar.
04:24It's the second corner of the game.
04:26For Cameroon.
04:28You see he just can't.
04:30Can't you?
04:30John Matip arriving.
04:32Is it?
04:32The frame of the goal.
04:33John Matip.
04:38It was a really good leap.
04:40By the Schalke player.
04:46Trying to get the cross in.
04:48It's a second bite.
04:49It's a low one.
04:50And now Matip does find the net.
04:54And Cameroon are playing party poopers.
04:59John Matip gets his first ever goal for Cameroon.
05:03And they are on level terms with Brazil.
05:09We've said they have the ability to shot.
05:12The ability to score a goal.
05:14This all comes from second phase at the set piece.
05:16It's Marcelo the left back.
05:18He's the one who's marking Matip.
05:20And he just lets him wander.
05:22Three yards the other side.
05:23Probably in the expectation that the ball's going to be cleared.
05:26But you shouldn't do that.
05:27As a defender.
05:28You should be the ultimate pessimist.
05:32And he's just let Matip drift off him.
05:34Obviously hasn't said a word to David Luiz.
05:37Because he's not looked around.
05:39Starting to build from the back.
05:41Marcelo.
05:42On to Neymar.
05:44What can he do here Neymar?
05:46Neymar.
05:46That's exactly what he can do.
05:49He can do it from anywhere.
05:52Magical.
05:54Absolutely magical.
05:56He's deadly.
05:59Give him room.
06:01At your peril.
06:04Four goals in three games.
06:06And Priscilla back in front.
06:16Well he's excellent after the period of pressure that they've been under Sam.
06:21That's right.
06:22It's a good reaction.
06:23But again it comes from Cameroon leaving their back four.
06:26Four against four.
06:27And then one 50 yard pass.
06:31Alan Neymar has to go up for the header.
06:33He has to challenge.
06:34Because he's 1v1.
06:35Then when the seconds drop down.
06:38Because Neymar's continued.
06:38He's gifted.
06:39He is cheeky.
06:43Hulk.
06:44Going for distance.
06:45And going for power.
06:47And it's pushed around the post by Charles Attange.
06:52It's a good save from Charles Attange.
06:54Because.
06:55As Hulk turned around.
06:57I looked at.
06:58They're not going to suffer with skill like that at their disposal.
07:01Here's Oskar.
07:02On to Neymar.
07:04Here's a chance for Hulk.
07:05Hulk!
07:10Well again.
07:11I think a Cameroon defender got the last touch on that.
07:15But look at the play Sam.
07:17By Joel Matup again.
07:20And that is the end.
07:21Of what has been.
07:22A fascinating first 45 minutes.
07:27And it might not quieten a few critics.
07:30But the boys from Brazil.
07:32Are in charge of this game.
07:34Pretty much down.
07:36And when Luis Felipe.
07:39This is Fred.
07:40He's going for goal.
07:42Manitange has to produce a save.
07:44To tip it round the post.
07:48Fred all waiting in the centre.
07:49Onar has been upended here.
07:55Comes back to Fernandinho.
07:58Squeezes out to David Luis.
08:00Here's Fred!
08:05He's been waiting for that.
08:08I think all of Brazil have been waiting for that.
08:21That is why he's in the team.
08:24Now we remember.
08:32Well it's been coming.
08:34They've pressed these opening three minutes.
08:36They've had three or four chances.
08:40You know at half time.
08:42Some of the bathrooms speak.
08:43Could hear the Brazilian saying.
08:44Fred!
08:45Hey Fred!
08:45Get him off!
08:46Fred!
08:47Well now they're in absolute raptures.
08:53Right place.
08:54Right place.
08:58Right time.
09:01Fernandinho.
09:02Has gone in for that challenge.
09:05And he's been pretty sprightly since coming on as a half time substitute.
09:18He's through the centre.
09:21He just lost his footing there.
09:23He had a bit of pressure being applied to him by Stefan Mbiet.
09:27Neymar is still down.
09:29He's been wanting treatment.
09:45Well the last thing they were noting has made a run down the right.
09:48Daniel Ades there with the tackle.
09:51And the accusation is is that Edgar Sela left his foot in.
09:56The side flag is up.
10:00Now in this situation.
10:01Break off because Fernandinho's got it back.
10:04Here's Oscar.
10:04Onto Fernandinho.
10:06That'll seal it.
10:08That's enough.
10:10That'll be top spot for Brazil.
10:17Fernandinho makes absolutely doubly certainly sure.
10:31And now they can start the dancing.
10:40Well that's brought this place right back to the cacophony and noise.
10:44That we started with.
10:47Cameroon trying to take a quick free kick at the edge of the own box.
10:52Maybe the news had filtered through that they could get another goal and totally disrupt what was going on.
10:58You give the ball away.
11:00Well your defence is off shape and that's what happens.
11:03Fernandinho doing ever so well to top up.
11:05Still going David Luiz.
11:07Going right to the end of the 90.
11:09It won't be time for the corner.
11:12Brazil.
11:14Get their victory.
11:15A little bit of swagger.
11:17And a little bit of style.
11:20It may have been against modest opposition.
11:23And it may not have been wholly convincing.
11:26But it was a lot more entertaining.
11:30And it's definitely the pick-me-up that Phil Scolare needed.
11:35Neymar provided the magic.
11:38And Brazil get four goals.
11:40Or the 5000, it's not.
11:40But it's how many people do.
