Brazil 1-1 Russia: Selecao escapes defeat at the last minute

Fred's last-gasp goal to seal a 1-1 draw helped Brazil earn a lucky draw against Russia - a team that was considered weaker.

Right after the opening whistle, facing the tight and scientific play of the Russian team, Brazil's quick and fast attacks were no longer in control. In the first minutes, the yellow-green team played deadlocked, disjointed with small attacks and no breakthroughs under the two commanding brains of Kaka and Oscar.

Strikers who used to make defenses crazy like Neymar or Fred also became dull and unlucky when facing goalkeeper Gabulov. The first half was extremely boring when both sides did not get what they wanted, which was a goal.

After the break, Brazil began to increase the pressure and focused on the wing, skillfully passing and passing at medium and short distances. Despite controlling the ball a lot, coach Scolari's team could not put the ball in Gabulov's net because of the tight and deep defense of the "Russian Bears".

Having many chances but unable to convert them into goals, Brazil suffered an unfair defeat. In the 73rd minute, Faizulin took advantage of a chaotic situation in front of Julio Cesar's goal to put the ball into the net, opening the score.

However, Russia's achievement was not complete when Fred, who had played poorly throughout the match, unexpectedly scored the equalizer 1-1 with a gentle tap-in after Marcelo's pass in the 90th minute.

Starting lineup:
Brazil:Julio Cesar; Dani Alves, Silva, David Luiz, Marcelo; Fernando, Hernanes, Oscar, Kaka; Neymar, Fred.

Russia:Gabulov, Anyukov, Ignashevich, Berezutsky, Eshchenko, Zhirkov, Shirokov, Glushakov, Bystrov, Kerzhakov, Kokorin.
