GOAL!! Brazil 1-0 Spain (Fred)
Ugly, from a long cross from the right, Neymar and Fred go up, Casillas misses it after Piqué fails to head it clear and Fred turns it in while falling to the floor.
11.01pm BST
1 min: Brazil kick off, the ball going up the left touchline to Oscar who holds it up, back to goal, and lays it off to Neymar who falls under the challenge of Jordi Alba but no foul is given and Spain get it up the other end quickly where Fernando Torres is fouled but advantage is played
Brazil v Spain: Confederations Cup final
11.47pm BST
45 min: I was reading somewhere this morning about neutrals wanting Brazil to be given a footballing lesson by Spain. Well, who really is neutral? And it's great to see Brazil turning on the style.
11.45pm BST GOAL!! Brazil 2-0 Spain (Neymar)
Glorious finish on the left of the box, played in by Oscar with a delayed one-two and smashed high, almost like Ryan Giggs v Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final in 1999 hard and high at the near post above Casillas. Magnificent.

41 min: Another dangerous run from Fred up the right but his cross to Neymar was cut out.
11.42pm BST
39 min: David Luiz can't defend? He's just made a superb goalline clearance when Mata played a glorious little dink across the box to the right to Pedro who was clear in on the keeper, He placed it around Julio Cesar without huge power but very precisely yet David Luiz slid in and knocked it clear an inch or so before it went in.
11.39pm BST
37 min: Interesting what Alanaõ and Alaninho have to make of this having backed Spain all the way. Paulinho's very good isn't he? He isn't going to Spurs really is he.
11.37pm BST
35 min: Xavi takes a free-kick from the left into the box, aiming for Busquets but Brazil win the header and clear, eventually getting Neymar free to run at Spain from 70 yards with three defenders back. He gets past the first but when he tails right he stumbles and Spain get it back. "Spain aren't passing like Spain, not dominating like Spain, not winning like Spain," says Matt Dony. "I was starting to doubt who was really playing. BUT then Ramos got booked. Looks like it is Spain after all." Ha.
11.34pm BST
32 min: Big save from Casillas after Jordi Alba misplaced his pass and Brazil broke at lightning pace, working a chance you would have expected Fred to convert, a shot from 15 yards after a lovely threaded pass from Neymar from the left and Casillas blocked it brilliantly diving low to his right. From the corner Fred almost has a free header, smack in the middle of forehead but he can't get it on target.
11.32pm BST
31 min: Spain have a free kick now by the corner flag after Ramos is shoved while trying to work an opening. The cross is blocked out for a corner which Xavi again takes, aiming for Torres but Paulinho is there to stop him heading it.
11.30pm BST
29 min: Long delay while Hulk and Neymar debate who'll take the free kick. Neymar touches it to his left and Hulk spanks it over the bar with his left foot.
11.29pm BST
27 min: "Never thought i would hear Guy Mowbray's comment 'Brazil expect periods where the opposition dominate possession', writes Ian Morgan. Well Spain aren't bossing it now. Sergio Ramos's hand on the back of Oscar as he broke past him and towards the area wins Brazil a free-kick 20 yards out and Ramos a yellow card. Again Brazil suggest it should have been red.
11.27pm BST
25 min: "They call him Fredje. He looks like he's been in the fredje," says Lawro. What does that mean? Fridge, yes. But really? Osacr is booked for a rake down the calf.
11.25pm BST
23 min: Spain have worked their way back into this, the usual way, bossing possession, keep ball, triangles and remarkably well-placed flicks but Brazil are defending well and breaking fast, Marcelo shifting it forwards qquickly and Fred dropping his shoulder past to go to the right of Ramos but drags his shot.
