Brazil scores two goals in the discount (2-0) and eliminates Costa Rica

[Askor lml]

The referee points in the 78th minute a penalty in favor of Brazil in the first instance, but left it without validity after consulting the VAR.

 

Two goals from Brazil in the discount, Phillipe Coutinho and Neymar Junior when the match seemed destined to tie to zero, saved the victory for Brazil (2-0) and certified the elimination of Costa Rica, who will not be able to access the eighth final.

The playmaker of Barcelona, in a play in the discount, untied the duel of the second day of Group E of the World Cup of Russia 2018, with many occasions 'canarinhas' and a request for a penalty to Neymar that the referee decided not to grant after reviewing the repetition alerted by the video arbitration assistant (VAR). Neymar finished the match just before the referee decreed the final.

Brazil adds with this victory 4 points, ahead of Serbia (three) and Switzerland (one), who play each other this afternoon. Costa Rica is eliminated with zero points.
