World Cup Match Moments: Day 9

Brazil finally woke up at the end of its match against Costa Rica on Day 9 of the World Cup, scoring two stoppage time goals to win 2-0.

Philippe Coutinho struck in the first minute of added time, and Neymar followed six minutes later. Costa Rica was eliminated from the tournament.

Nigeria put in a solid performance with pace and good defending to beat Iceland 2-0. That result slightly helps Argentina, which has a poor start to the tournament in Group D.

Switzerland came back from an early goal down to beat Serbia 2-0 in a politically-charged match because of tensions over some players with Kosovo Albanian roots. It was the first come-from-behind victory at this tournament.
