Manchester United were represented by three players as much-changed Brazil suffered a surprising defeat in their World Cup showdown with Cameroon - although Alex Telles, Fred and Antony had all joined Casemiro on the bench by the time the African side grabbed a dramatic late winner.
Having picked up maximum points from their opening two Group G matches, five-time winners Brazil were already through to the knockout stage in first place by the time they strode out at the magnificent Lusail Stadium on Friday night. It provided them with an opportunity to rest key players for the last 16.
Casemiro was among those to put his feet up, while injured Brazil superstar Neymar was not summoned, as serious question marks remain over his fitness. But for Telles, Fred and Antony, there were important matters at stake in the pursuit to be included next up against South Korea.
