Russia 2018 World Cup: Neymar And Coutinho's Late Goals Snatch The Victory For Brazil In 2-0 Win Over Costa Rica

What an astonishing way to win a match it was for Brazil which nailed in two goals in injury time and knocked out their opponents Costa Rica at the 2018 World Cup.
Expectations of the match ending in a draw changed when two goals went in right on stoppage time -first Philippe Coutinho and minutes later Neymar Jr - Costa Rica knew their fate crystal clear that they are out of the tournament.
In the first half, Gabriel Jesus came close to getting a goal in with a header but that caught the cross-bar, and immediately Coutinho responded with a shot, still could not find the back of the net.
As the match went on into injury time, the Samba boys opened the score-line through their Barcelona ace Coutinho who finished very close range a pass from Gabriel Jesus in 90th+1 minutes after Marcelo set off the attack with a cross from the left wing.
Just on the brink of exhausting the injury time, Neymar shocked their opponents with a doubler as he kicked in from close range a pass from Douglas Costa in 90th+7 minutes.
At the blast of the referee's whistle, Costa Ricans are guaranteed they have been eliminated from the tournament having loss two matches to be in the bottom of Group C.
Brazil will face in next match Serbia and Netherland will take on already ousted Costa Rica on next week Wednesday on June 27.
