Brazil shook off the early tournament cobwebs and are set to face Mexico in the first knockout phase of the 2018 World Cup after topping Group E with a well-earned 2-0 victory against Serbia.
Dusan Tadic - 6
Gave Felipe Luis a real run for his money, opening up a number of avenues for Nemanja Matic and Antonio Rukavina to press forward. Extremely dynamic and hard working for Serbia when they needed him for an equaliser.
Filip Kostic - 5.5
Seriously encouraging defensive work from the winger as he took Serbia's first shot of the match. The first half fell out of Serbia's favour and he saw less and less of the ball as the match wore on.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic - 3.5
Couldn't inject himself into the contest ahead of Casemiro although he could have made more room for himself if he attempted to move out to the flanks to get touches on the ball.
Adam Ljajic - 5
Great work defensively, getting back to dispossess Coutinho and ensure Serbia weren't overwhelmed by Brazil's rapid attack.
Aleksander Mitrovic - 4.5
Led a pressing game against Brazil that caught them off guard and led to turnovers. A perfect headed opportunity fell right at Alisson, not troubling the keeper.
Subs
Andrija Zivkovic - 5
Couldn't make a difference for Serbia in the final third as they were chasing the game at 2-0 down.
