Brazil almost ended their second match at 2018 World Cup with another frustrating draw until its biggest stars came alive late. The five-time World Champions were held scoreless by Costa Rica until the 90th minute before Philippe Coutinho broke the deadlock in the stoppage time.
Coutinho found the net in the 91st minute, and Neymar added another five minutes later as the South Americans move to four points in Group F with one match left to play.
Brazil had bigger share of posession throughout the match, 9 out of 23 shots on target. Despite having many stars in the line-up, Brazil could not find a way through Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas. However, the six added minutes proved to be too much to handle.
The result sent Brazil to the top of group, and boosts their chances of moving on to the next stage.
