Brazil got their 2022 World Cup campaign off to a bright start with a hard-fought 2-0 victory against a Serbia side who tried valiantly to keep them at bay.
The pair actually met at the last edition of the tournament, with Brazil running out 2-0 winners again in the final group game back in Russia. It was a similarly cagey affair this time around, though eventually the Selecao picked the Serbia lock.
45 minutes passed by with very little to note, the first-half's biggest chance falling to the feet of Raphinha but the best the Barcelona man could do was fire straight at Serbia goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic despite being in plenty of space inside the penalty area.
