120'		Fulltime Summary: Can there be better start to the knockout stage than this thriller? Both teams couldn't get to full speed in an intensive duel through 120 minutes and set up an exciting finish! Brazil remains unbeaten against Chile on home soil and eliminates La Roja for the fourth time in as many World Cup duels. But the question remains whether the hosts can really challenge the European top-class with unconvincing efforts like tonight. But that's a question to be answered in the future, for now it's party time in Belo Horizonte!

120'		Penalty Shoot-out
120'		Second Half Summary: The game hasn't had much to offer in an intensive but overall not very eventful extra time so a penalty shootout is the consequent result. Chile limped over the finish line, but fought to the end and had the best chance of overtime to eliminate the hosts late. Can unconvincing Brazil keep their cool from the spot or will their dreams be shattered in the next minutes?
120'		Second Half of extra time ends
120'		Two final minutes are being added as the counterattack is intercepted. Brazil has a final corner, but can't get a chance out of it.
119'		Chile hits woodwork! Mauricio Pinilla muscles through the middle set up by a one-two with Alexis Sánchez and just hammers the ball off the crossbar! The hosts were inches away from elimination!
118'		Brazil is going for a lot of aerial balls, but that's not a recipe for success.
117'		The favorite pokes the ball around the opposing penalty area, but can't find a way through.
115'		Chile makes the most out of contact. They try to milk as much clock as possible.
114'		Energy is dwindling and there is not much happening.
112'		Mauricio Pinilla is searching for Aránguiz inside the penalty area, but the resulting shot can't threaten Júlio César.
110'		With Pinilla and Gutiérrez two Chilean players are shaken up and we have a minor stoppage.
109'		Looks like Chile is running out of steam so it's up to the favorite to make something happen.
108'		That save was the last effort by bulldog Medel, who is visibly in pain after fighting for 108 minutes.
108'		Substitution (in) Chile -> José Rojas
108'		Substitution (out) Chile -> Gary Medel
107'		Neymar rushes down the left side and Medel is flying in to deflect the cross.
106'		Scolari starts the last 15 minutes of the game with his third change. Willian offers fresh legs in midfield.
106'		Substitution (in) Brazil -> Willian
106'		Substitution (out) Brazil -> Oscar
106'		Second Half of extra time begins
105'		Halftime Summary: Overall play remained rather underwhelming, but Brazil was back controlling the game and created some minor opportunities. Not enough from either side to justify a goal so far in extra time and 15 minutes remain to find a winner before a penalty shootout.
105'		First Half of extra time ends
105'		Dani Alves (Brazil) is shown a yellow card He downs Pinilla and the ensuing free-kick by Sánchez flies wide.
105'		Isla is set up on the right flank, but his cross is intercepted and cleared.
104'		Hulk sees the next Brazilian effort saved by Bravo as he skipped away from Díaz. The hosts are getting closer though.
103'		The hosts are dominating possession but little space because Chile has all men behind the ball.
102'		Mauricio Pinilla (Chile) is shown a yellow card The substitute trips David Luiz as the centre back was rushing forward.
101'		Oscar is completely unmarked at the far post following a cross from the right side, but heads the ball straight to Bravo.
100'		Jô nearly breaks through on the left, but loses his footing and Bravo claims the ball.
99'		Both teams poke around the ball in midfield, no way through for either side.
97'		You can not imagine that Brazil would want to rely on a penalty shootout to advance, but given their sloppy play it might be the best chance to win today.
95'		Marcelo Díaz drills a rather ambitious free-kick from 35 yards well wide.
94'		The favorite is a tad more involved so far compared to the second half of regulation.
93'		Jô (Brazil) is shown a yellow card The forward tries to track down a long ball but is well late against keeper Bravo. That was a rough one by the local.
92'		Neymar drives a free-kick from the left side onto the goal, but its headed out for a corner.
91'		Will Brazil now act a bit more courageous? The hosts could also use more support from the stands, Belo Horizonte was very silent in the second half.
91'		Kick-Off extra time
90'		Second Half Summary: After an encouraging showing in the first half, Brazil gradually declined in the second half and could only threaten the Chilean side with rare counterattacks. It was the underdog who was searching for the decisive goal late, but the defense of the hosts had little problems with the attacks of La Roja as well. It's the first game in knockout stage and we are going overtime already!
90'		Second Half ends
90'		Three minutes are added and its Chile pushing for the winning goal in regulation. But they can't get another opportunity and we're headed into overtime!
90'		Marcelo Díaz tries to chip a ball to Charles Aránguiz into the box, but David Luiz is all over the play and heads it away.
89'		Alexis Sánchez does well to maintain possession for Chile in midfield and they eventually get a throw-in on the left side.
88'		After coming back from an injury right in front of the World Cup, Vidal has burned up all his energy and is replaced by the Cagliari forward.
87'		Substitution (in) Chile -> Mauricio Pinilla
87'		Substitution (out) Chile -> Arturo Vidal
86'		The teams are hearing it from the crowd, nobody is willing to risk anything.
85'		Chile seems willing to milk the clock here as an overtime would already be a great success to Sampaoli and his men.
84'		Is that the start of a frantic finish by the hosts?
83'		Bravo saves! Hulk escapes on the right side, bursts into the area and fires from a tight angle. The keeper gets a hand on the ball and can then gather the second effort by Jô.
82'		Seconds later Neymar again is in the middle of the action as he tries to go for the cheeky finish at the six yard box, but his back-heel is blocked.
81'		Dani Alves delivers great diagonal ball into the penalty area, Neymar rises, but heads it straight to Bravo.
80'		Are we up for the first overtime in the knockout stage? Ten minutes remain to find a winner in regulation.
78'		But Chile does well to slow down the pace and get back in time after lost possessions.
76'		You would think that the hosts would have to be the team searching for the go-ahead goal, but Scolari's team remains defensive and is looking for that chance in transition.
74'		Jô misses the opportunity! Hulk sets up the substitute with a beautiful cross form the left at the far post, but the striker fumbles it wide. What a chance from 6 yards!
73'		Both teams are realizing that the next goal could be the decisive one and don't risk too much as we're approaching the last quarter of the game.
72'		The defensive midfield remains a position of concern for Luiz Felipe Scolari as Fernandinho couldn't make a splash as Paulinho replacement. Now Ramires gets his chance.
72'		Substitution (in) Brazil -> Ramires
72'		Substitution (out) Brazil -> Fernandinho
71'		That said, it's not like Chile gets clear-cut chances out of their possession.
69'		It the pressure starting to affect the Brazilian side? Chile is easily controlling the midfield right now and the hosts are strangely inhibited.
68'		Players are going down in both penalty areas, but Webb remains calm and rightfully waves it off.
67'		That should serve as a warning for the hosts, who are the inferior team in this second half.
65'		César saves! Isla is set up with a nice one-two on the left side and cuts it back to Aránguiz, whose effort from eight yards is deflected by the keeper for a corner.
64'		The much criticized Fred has to make room after a subpar showing for local Jô, who plays for Atletico Belo Horizonte.
64'		Substitution (in) Brazil -> Jô
64'		Substitution (out) Brazil -> Fred
63'		Charles Aránguiz nearly bullies through at the edge of the box, but the defense is able to clear eventually.
62'		Brazil can't get anything going right now as both teams wrestle in midfield.
61'		Seconds later it's Fernandinho who is lucky once again to avoid the booking after clattering into Silva.
60'		Luiz Gustavo (Brazil) is shown a yellow card The Wolfsburg player is the next on in the book for a late challenge against Vidal. That would suspend him for a potential quarter final.
59'		Webb isn't the most popular man in the stands right now, but the Englishman has been a reliable official so far.
58'		Vargas couldn't make any noise up front as is replaced.
57'		Substitution (in) Chile -> Felipe Gutiérrez
57'		Substitution (out) Chile -> Eduardo Vargas
55'		Hulk (Brazil) is shown a yellow card Boos are raining down because the striker received a ball over the top into the box and appeared to have scored, but replay reveals Hulk controlled the ball with his hand. Great call by the assistant!
53'		Overall it's a slow start to this half. Claudio Bravo is out of his box to intercept a long ball and clears it away.
51'		Alexis Sánchez remains the danger man for Chile. His smart pass finds Vidal in the box, but the Brazil defense intercepts the Juventus man who tried to set up a teammate at the edge of the box.
50'		Fernandinho has his first effort on goal as he fire a shot from 25 yards, but it sails well wide.
48'		Marcelo Díaz delivers the first free-kick of the half and Júlio César confidently punches it away.
47'		Marcelo and Vidal are brought down from different incidents and remain on the ground for a second.
46'		Both coaches make no changes coming out of the break.
46'		Second Half begins
45'		Halftime Summary: It's been the tough challenge that Brazil was expecting, but Scolari's men were mainly hampered by their own mistakes throughout. The Seleção was the more engaged side and controlled the midfield well, but could even be down at half after crucial errors by Hulk and Luiz Gustavo. Chile meanwhile can't show their pace and playmaking that made them famous in the group stage, because the opponent is forcing errors with their aggressiveness. Stay tuned!
45'		Half-Time
45'		Aránguiz!! Another capital mistake, this time by Luiz Gustavo, sets up Alexis Sánchez, who penetrates the danger area from the right and feeds the midfielder at the six yard box. Under pressure the Internacional man can't beat Júlio César from a tight angle.
44'		Neymar races down the right side past the Chilean defense and delivers a fine cross to the back post, but Fred and Fernandinho get in each others way as they wanted to get to the header.
42'		There is more pressure from Brazil gradually after the equalizer and this time Dani Alves hammers one from 30 yards. Bravo tips it over the crossbar for a corner.
40'		Francisco Silva (Chile) is shown a yellow card The next player from Chile would miss the next round.
39'		Oscar picks out Neymar with a great ball over the top and for a second the striker had clear sight of the goal. He is well challenged, but somehow stumbles the ball to Fred, who bobbles his effort over the crossbar.
36'		Some wilds scenes develop from the ensuing corner as Chile fails to clear the ball. But no opportunity is resulting for Brazil.
35'		Neymar comes close! The superstar finds himself on the receiving end of a cross from the right and his deflected header misses just wide.
33'		The hosts will ask themselves how that happened because the play developed off an own throw-in. Brazil was caught sleeping.
32'		Goooal for Chile, 1:1 by Alexis Sánchez Vargas steals possession on the right side after a loose touch from Hulk and doesn't hesitate a second to fire the ball into the box. The picked out Barcelona man calmly gathers and strikes into the bottom-left corner.
31'		Other than the obvious booking for Mena Webb continues to look the other way. Fernandinho has more than earned a yellow for yet another tactical foul, but the English referee lets him get away.
30'		Scolari is livid at the sideline because Arturo Vidal goes straight through Neymar with his boot. The star needs treatment but is able to continue.
28'		Neymar is running down every ball up front and draws the foul at the halfway line.
27'		The hosts surrender most of the possession to Chile the last minutes, but they pressure the opponent well enough to not let them near their goal.
25'		Chile is poking the ball around in midfield but can't find their way through the firm Seleção defense.
24'		Neymar is one lucky man right now as he catches Medel with a late challenge. A yellow card would suspend him for the next round. It remains feisty.
23'		With the lead, Brazil falls back noticeably and is looking for options in transition.
22'		Marcelo Díaz delivers a free-kick into the penalty box, but the defense heads it away.
21'		Arturo Vidal has been a no-show so far although his team could really use his playmaking.
20'		There has not been much opportunities on both sides, but the hosts have been the more engaged side. Chile now has to find their offense.
18'		Goooal for Brazil, 1:0 by David Luiz Thiago Silva flicks the Neymar corner to the far post where the unmarked centre back just has to poke the ball over the line.
17'		Hulk whips in the resulting free-kick and Bravo puts it behind for a corner.
17'		Eugenio Mena (Chile) is shown a yellow card He uses his hand to cut out Oscar's pass and would miss a potential quarter final.
15'		Neymar is off to the races and has only one man to beat, but is cut off well and has to slow down the play.
14'		Brazil wins a dangerous free-kick on the left side, but the delivery is claimed by Bravo.
13'		On the other end it's Hulk that stumbles inside the box from light contact after a brilliant one-two with Neymar. Not enough for the English referee again.
11'		A deep ball finds Alexis Sánchez on the right side and he plays a clever pass across the six yard box. Onrushing Vargas gets a little push from David Luiz, but Webb waves it off.
9'		Chile tries to exploit Dani Alves' offensive runs early as they quickly get off in transition on the left side. But so far they can't squeeze a ball into the danger area.
8'		Meanwhile Hulk tracks down a ball down the left side, but his cross is picked up easily by Bravo.
7'		An early reason for concern for the hosts here because Neymar has to be treated at the sideline. He returns but is limping.
6'		Marcelo gets to the rebound at the edge of the box, but places his shot wide.
5'		It's a lively and physical start and Brazil earns its first corner.
4'		After two rough challenges in midfield Howard Webb has to think about an early booking. Fernandinho and Medel have been the guilty men.
2'		The atmosphere is expectedly great. Chile earns a first free-kick, but aerial balls have not been particularly threatening from La Roja throughout the tournament.
1'		We're underway!
1'		Kick-Off
		Teams are coming out and the national anthems are being played! The temper is rising in Belo Horizonte!
		Both teams feature frantic fan bases so you can expect a great atmosphere in the stands. It's all set in Belo Horizonte and we await the teams led by experienced referee Howard Webb and his crew.
		The battle on the wings could be key, because the full backs of both sides like to make their way into opposing territory and we can certainly be curious whether this one will develop into a wild South American duel or both teams decide to slow down the game with so much at stake. Chile could make history as La Roja never managed to beat Brazil on their home soil. They also could advance to the quarter finals for the first time since 1962.
		Luiz Felipe Scolari makes one change to his side as Tottenham Hotspur's Paulinho finds himself on the bench following some lacklustre displays and Fernandinho takes over in the defensive midfield next to Luiz Gustavo. Criticized Fred remains up front and is flanked by Neymar and Hulk. The coach said he wants his men to keep their cool today and we might see a careful approach to the game against the fast-paced opponent.
		The full lineups can be found here.
		In his quest to spoil the party of the hosts, Jorge Sampaoli will field the team that had so little trouble with underdog Australia and reigning champion Spain. Arturo Vidal will slot back in after being rested against the Netherlands and takes over the playmaking spot behind strikers Alexis Sánchez and Eduardo Vargas.
		Although Brazil is unbeaten against La Roja in 14 years, including a 3-0 victory in the last 16 of 2010, Scolari said that if he could, he would have chosen another opponent as Chile presents a tough challenge. At least Neymar has lived up to the hype and is currently level with Messi and Thomas Muller at the top of the World Cup scoring charts. As a team though, the hosts have to step up their game to come out on top against their lively South American rivals.
		After an exciting group stage with quite a lot of surprises, it's not getting any easier for the teams that survived. It's also do or die for the hosts, who weren't as convincing as many thought they'd be so far but showed the effectiveness they needed. They square off against a dangerous Chilean team that certainly doesn't lack the confidence to end any title hopes of the Seleção earlier than expected.
		Janosch Ferda is commentating for you. Enjoy!
		Welcome to the start of the knockout phase in Brazil! The hosts will try to fend off Chile on their way to the title in Belo Horizonte.
