Brazil 3-1 Croatia: Neymar inspires Selecao comeback
Two goals from Neymar and a late Oscar strike inspired Brazil to a 3-1 comeback victory over Croatia in the opening game of the 2014 World Cup.
The host nation fell behind to an early own goal from Marcelo, before Neymar was perhaps fortunate to be shown just a yellow card after catching Luka Modric in the throat with a stray arm.
Soon after, the 22-year-old levelled with a fine 25-yard effort on his left foot, before converting a controversial second half penalty after Dejan Lovren was adjudged to have brought down Fred.
And as the game entered injury-time, man-of-the-match Oscar sped forward and toe-poked home an effort from the edge of the box to give Brazil breathing space and, most importantly, three points.
While Brazil had the luxury of naming the same side that started last year's Confederations Cup final success over Spain, Croatia were without suspended striker Mario Mandzukic, leaving Nikica Jelavic to lead the line in his absence.
Also without injured left-back Danijel Pranjic, Croatia fired the first shot in anger as Mateo Kovacic steered an effort wide in the first minute.
Brazil's first significant foray forward saw David Luiz's tame header saved, but the pressure was on them at the other end of the pitch.

Ronaldo: I'll be 100 per cent fit for World Cup
Real Madrid star has struggled with injury since the Champions League final but has 'no worries' about his fitness for Brazil
Cristiano Ronaldo has reassured Portugal fans he will be 100 per cent fit for the World Cup after coming through the 5-1 friendly win over the Republic of Ireland.The 29-year-old has been dogged by multiple injuries since Real Madrid's Champions League final win over Atletico, and there were concerns he could join Marco Reus, Franck Ribery and Radamel Falcao in missing the tournament.
However, the former Manchester United winger appeared from the start against Martin O'Neill's side in New Jersey on Tuesday night and completed 65 minutes before being replaced by Nani.
It has left Ronaldo confident he will be firing on all cylinders when Portugal face Germany in their opening World Cup game on Monday.
He told Times of India: "I am training well, keeping the advice of the doctors in mind. The progress is encouraging, they say, and I am feeling better with each day.
"You need to reach there when you are at your peak, both physically and mentally. I shall definitely be there, fully fit, no worries."Paulo Bento's side face a tough task to qualify from Group G, after being drawn alongside Germany, USA and Ghana, and Ronaldo is realistic about the challenges ahead.
He added: "We played Germany in the Euros, so we know a bit or two about them. On the other side of the coin, they know more about us too. They have a great side. They are one of the favourites to win it this time. It's going to be really tough.
"But we had the Netherlands and Denmark in our group in the Euros too and we did qualify. This time we have the USA and Ghana. It's going to be real tough. But we are determined to give our best."
