Philippe Coutinho saved Brazil in stoppage time after they struggled to break down Costa Rica, with Tite's side eventually winning 2-0
After a stodgy first-half showing, Brazil, who drew their opening match with Switzerland, wasted numerous chances before Coutinho (90+1) netted his second goal of the tournament to rescue his side
Neymar (90+6) added gloss with a further goal in added time
 The PSG man was at the heart of the game throughout, including winning a penalty which was sensationally overturned by VAR and at full time he was in tears, presumably with relief that Brazil had avoided a damaging result
Cristian Gamboa gave Brazil an early fright with a scorching run down the left
 His cross found Celso Borges but his effort from 12 yards out scuffed wide of the far post
Gabriel Jesus had the ball in the net on 26 minutes, however, the linesman's flag correctly cut short the celebrations and Neymar cut a frustrated figure off the left flank as Brazil failed to find any rhythm to their play down his side
But the substitution of Douglas Costa, who replaced Willian at the break, sparked life into Brazil's attacks
First, Jesus rose highest from a right-wing cross only for his his effort on 50 minutes to come crashing back off the crossbar
 Neymar then swept an effort from 12 yards at goal which was flicked over the crossbar from Keylor Navas who could only stand and watch minutes later when the same player curled an effort inches wide
The Brazilian skipper was seen badgering the referee in the tunnel over an alleged lack of decisions go his way in the first-half but he thought he'd won a penalty with 12 minutes left
 He cut inside Oscar Duarte, who left an arm on his chest
 Neymar deemed this contact strong enough to send him theatrically to the ground but the VAR overturned the call to the frustration of the Brazilian, who was booked moments later for dissent
Brazil were running out of ideas and time - but when Roberto Firmino bravely headed a cross back across goal, Jesus flicked the ball into Coutinho's path and the Barcelona man toe-poked the ball through the legs of Navas, sparking jubilant scenes
Neymar then wrapped up the points late on with a simple finish after a clever break by Costa
Neymar has played second fiddle to Coutinho in this tournament thus far
 The former Liverpool man curled home a stunning opening goal against Switzerland and he was in game-changing mood again
 When his team needed him, he stepped up with a huge goal that could just spark Brazil into major contenders for this tournament
Both these two nations play their final Group E games on Wednesday, with Brazil taking on Serbia and Costa Rica playing Switzerland
