Philippe Coutinho and Neymar both struck in stoppage time to earn Brazil their first win at the 2018 World Cup as they beat Costa Rica 2-0 to edge towards the last 16. The five-time winners and the competition's most decorated nation were on course for their second successive draw in Russia, with Neymar denied a second-half penalty upon VAR review and Gabriel Jesus hitting the crossbar.

However, Coutinho arrived to poke an effort between Keylor Navas's legs at the start of stoppage time before Neymar converted substitute Douglas Costa's cross to earn Tite's men a crucial victory and ensure their opponents cannot qualify from Group E.
