The PSG star wasn't the only one showing extraordinary emotions, his coach Tite did a somersault after Philipe Coutinho broke the deadlock in the 91st minute after arriving late in the box to latch onto an accidental lay-off by Gabriel Jesus. 

By the half-time though, it didn't look like Brazil would go home with three points. They looked uninspiring. That was the story in the last match too. Gone was their famed 'joga bonito' style of play. And, as it happened in the end, Brazil are now looking at their individual talents to take them over the rope.
