- 82' Brazil are still pushing for a fourth here... and you wouldn't put it past them getting one.
- 81' Brazil make another change... off goes Kaka, on comes Kleberson.

- 75' Down to the other end and Suazo brings a save out out of Julio Cesar after a neat turn and shot!

- 72' Match image: Robinho scores
- 71' Ramirez looks like he's going to be booked here for a hack at Sanchez... yes, he is.

- 68' Fuentes is booked for a challenge that leaves Luis Fabiano on the deck...
- 67' Brazil have won their previous seven matches against Chile. Their last defeat was a World Cup qualifier (0-3) in August 2000.
- 66' Oooh! Valdivia tees himself up for a volley! It dips but not enough and the ball flies inches over the bar! Great effort!
- 64' The ball is played into Suazo... he attempts a flick when he had time to control and turn... shame, that could have led to Chile pulling one back....

- 62' Dani Alves lets fly from distance... oooh! That's not too far away!

- 60' Chile are staring down the barrel now... surely there's no way back for them now.
59' GOAL! ROBINHO! Super goal from the Manchester City man! Ramires is the architect, bursting forward from the centre circle before feeding Robinho, who bends it into the corner! Great goal! They made it look easy!- 58' Chile's players had a bit of a pow-wow before they headed off to the dressing rooms at half-time. Match image
- 57' optajean: "3 - Kaka has delivered the joint-most assists for Brazil at the 2010 world cup, along with Thomas Mueller."
- 56' Lucio strides forward from the back... love it when he does this! He plays it out to Robinho, but the Manchester City-owned man can't get a cross back to Lucio... corner nevertheless.
- 55' InfostradaLive: Brazil have the oldest starting line-up in the knockout stages of this World Cup - an average age of 28 years and 350 days old.
- 54' It's been a decent start to the second period by Chile... but still no real chances to show for it.
- 53' Dani Alves looks like he might break free here... no! Cracking covering challenge by Fuentes...
- 52' Tello clips the free-kick into the Brazil box.. headed clear by Lucio...
- 51' Valdivia is fouled by Gilberto Silva... and Chile have a free-kick, about 30 yards out... good chance to deliver a good ball into the box...

- 49' The answer to today's Venn brain teaser has been published... Find out what it is here
- 48' Alves goes for goal himself from the resulting free-kick... but it's far too tight an angle and surely he's not going to beat Bravo from there... he doesn't. The ball sails over the bar.
- 47' Kaka is upended by Vidal, who is shown a yellow card...
- 46' Two changes to tell you about... both Chilean... Gonzalez and Contreras have departed with Tello and Valdivia coming on.
46' Back underway at Ellis Park!- 45'+1 Just one minute of added time played at the end of the first half... Brazil head in at the break two goals to the good thanks to two in four minutes.
- 45' Mark Gonzalez is fed by Vidal on the left wing... but the former Liverpool player's cross is poor, overhit and out for a goal kick on the far side.
- 44' Maicon whips in a cross for Luis Fabiano... he meets it with his head, but it pings over the bar.
- 43' Chile’s best result so far is a third place after they were defeated by Brazil (2-4) at the 1962 World Cup.
- 42' Vidal clips a ball forward for the advancing Isla... but Bastos is there to head clear for Brazil...
- 41' Bastos fires in a cross-shot from the Brazil left... but the Lyon player's effort drifts wide of the far post and Bravo is not brought into action this time.
- 40' That's Luis Fabiano's third this tournament... Ronaldo managed that feat in 2006...
- 39' No hint of offside there... Luis Fabiano was clearly on as he ran onto Kaka's pass...
- 38' GOAL! LUIS FABIANO MAKES IT TWO! Kaka slips the striker through with a delightful first time pass... Fabiano rounds the keeper and slots home! 2-0 Brazil and it looks bleak for Chile already!
- 36' Chile have a great deal to do now... they have to come from behind to beat Brazil... no mean feat.
- 35' That's a very un-classic Brazil goal... simple header from a corner, no frills at all... but that's the new Brazil, and they're all the more threatening for it...
- 34' GOAL! BRAZIL LEAD! Juan rises like a salmon to thump home a header from a corner! 1-0 Brazil!
- 33' Maicon looks for a free-kick after he falls to the ground under a challenge by Vidal... referee Webb says no again! And replays show him to be exactly right! Good decision, the Inter man clearly dived there...
- 32' Isla wins the ball off Bastos near the corner flag... but his cross is headed clear by Lucio...
- 31' Suazo runs up to the free-kick... but his effort is straight into the wall...
- 30' Vidal is tripped by Kaka... and Brazil's golden boy is booked...
- 29' That could easily have been a penalty... there was definite contact... but the leap in the air before hitting the deck was so over the top, that Webb was left nonplussed....
- 28' The ball comes over... it comes to Lucio, who jumps to the floor theatrically as Contreras hacks at his legs... penalty scream those in yellow shirts! No way says Howard Webb!
- 27' Ramires takes it... cleared at the first but Brazil come again and win another corner!
- 26' Carmona is penalised for a foul on Alvez and Brazil have a chance to put in a decent ball now...
- 25' Contreras nearly gets his head to the corner... Lucio heads clear... he wants a free-kick, but Howard Webb is not going to give him one...
- 24' Beausejour fires goalwards... it takes a touch off a Brazilian shirt and Chile have a corner!
- 23' Brazil are forced to go all the way back to Julio Cesar... and a few whistles ring out...
- 22' Fabiano is dispossessed and here come Chile... Sanchez is on the ball... but he seems to be caught in two minds about what to do... he ends up shooting himself, but it's easily blocked...
- 21' Two of Chile’s three goals at this World Cup have been scored by a substitute.
- 20' Gonzalez wins a throw for Chile off Maicon near the corner flag... and Chile can build an attack... but the good position is somewhat wasted by Jara who fires well wide from distance.
- 19' Brazil are looking good so far, but Chile are far from sitting back and letting their opponents come onto them...
- 18' Alves looks for Robinho with an early pass... but it's overhit and Bravo is out quickly to claim.
- 17' Bastos gives the crowd something to cheer about with some neat skill out on the far touchline as Brazil ping the ball from player to player with effortless ease...
- 16' All three Argentine coaches at this World Cup have progressed to the Last 16 phase at the 2010 World Cup. They are Diego Maradona (with Argentina), Gerardo Martino (with Paraguay) and Marcelo Bielsa (with Chile).
- 15' Ramirez strikes from distance! No problems for Bravo in the Chile goal...
- 14' Here come Chile again... Suazo looks for Beausejour, but it's well cut out by Lucio...
- 13' Suazo lets off another try on goal... it's on target but Julio Cesar is not too troubled by it...
- 12' Dani Alves gets involved with Vidal.... Match image
- 11' The last time Chile won a knockout phase match at the World Cup, was against the Soviet Union (2-1) in 1962.
- 10' Maicon takes the resulting corner... nothing comes of it but Kaka soon fires off a shot on goal... it's wide this time but Brazil have definitely upping their game here...
- 9' Alves trots across to take it... but Gonzalez heads clear this time. It comes back to Gilberto Silva before too long and he lets fly! Bravo is forced to make a flying save!
- 8' Dani Alves takes it... put behind for another on the opposite side...
- 7' Brazil win a corner now as the Selecao step up their attacking game...
- 6' Kaká and Luis Fabiano have scored 27 goals for Brazil. Kaká needed 80 matches to reach this mark, Luis Fabiano only 41.
- 5' But here come Brazil on the break... Luis Fabiano runs onto a through pass... he's got Robinho up with him but he goes for goal himself... wide of the mark!
- 4' Chile have started very brightly here... Julio Cesar is forced to pounce on a cross from the by-line....
- 3' Suazo takes it short... it comes to Sanchez who lets fly! But Alves is there to make a good block!
- 2' Chile win the first corner of the night! Cracking start by the Chileans!
- 2' Brazil are in their traditional yellow and blue tonight, while Chile are in all white...
1' Here we go! Chile get proceedings underway in Johannesburg!- 19:27 The anthems are sung with gusto - Brazil's players hold their hands over their hearts while bellowing out their national song, while Chile's players do likewise...
- 19:25 Here come the teams led out by Howard Webb, who grabs the ball from its perch on his way onto the pitch...
- 19:25 The last time Brazil have lost in the Last 16 round was in 1990. Argentina defeated the Selecao via a Claudio Caniggia goal.
- 19:20 Brazil have won more World Cups (five - 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002) than any other nation. Brazil have also finished as runners-up twice (1950, 1998), third twice (1938, 1978) and fourth once (1974).
- 19:15 Their last meeting was a World Cup qualifier with Brazil winning 4-2 at home on 10 September 2009. Nilmar scored three goals and Julio Baptista netted once. Humberto Suazo scored twice for Chile. Brazil’s Felipe Melo and Chile’s Alexis Sanchez received a red card.
- 19:10 Brazil won also their previous World Cup match against La Roja, recording a 4-1 in the last 16 round in 1998. Cesar Sampaio (2) and Ronaldo (2) produced the goals for Brazil. Marcelo Salas did this for Chile.
- 19:05 Brazil and Chile meet for the third time at the World Cup. Their first encounter was won by the Selecao in the semi-final of the 1962 World Cup. Garrincha (2) and Vavá (2) scored the Brazilian goals. Jorge Toro and Leonel Sanchez provided the Chilean goals.
- 19:00 Chile name Ismael Fuentes and Pablo Contreras in defence to replace Gary Medel and Waldo Ponce, both suspended along with Marco Estrada, while midfielder Carlos Carmona returns from a one-match suspension. Midfielder Jorge Valdivia is dropped and striker Humberto Suazo, who has been struggling with injury, is named in attack.
- 18:55 So, Elano and Felipe Melo, both carrying injuries, are left out of Brazil's starting line-up. Elano, who scored in each of Brazil's first two games, has been suffering from an injured ankle and Felipe Melo twisted his ankle under a heavy challenge during the group match against Portugal. Dani Alves and Ramires are named in their place. Kaka returns to the Brazil team after a one-match suspension and Robinho, rested in the 0-0 draw against Portugal, is also included.
- 18:50 And tonight's referee is our very own Howard Webb.
- 18:50 Teams: Brazil: 1-Julio Cesar; 2-Maicon, 3-Lucio, 4-Juan, 6-Michel Bastos, 18-Ramires, 8-Gilberto Silva, 13-Dani Alves, 10-Kaka, 11-Robinho, 9-Luis Fabiano /// Chile: 1-Claudio Bravo; 4-Mauricio Isla, 5-Pablo Contreras, 2-Ismael Fuentes, 8-Arturo Vidal, 11-Mark Gonzalez, 6-Carlos Carmona, 18-Gonzalo Jara, 9-Humberto Suazo, 15-Jean Beausejour, 7-Alexis Sanchez.
