Casemiro restored parity for the Samba Boys, two mins after resumption of play after when Brazil hit the cross bar from a corner with the Real Madrid midfielder reacting first to tuck home the leveler.

There was enough time for goalkeeper Maduka Okoye to make his Super Eagles debut when he came on for the impressive Uzoho who landed awkwardly on his ankle while trying to keep out a Brazil corner.
