The first half was a tight and intense affair, with neither team able to gain a clear advantage. Matthew had a few chances, but Brazil's goalkeeper was impressive, making several crucial saves. Nigeria's goalkeeper was equally impressive, denying Brazil's star player, Carlos, with a spectacular save.
