re: Group A Match 1 | Brasil v Croatia | Official Match Thread

On the tactical cam it showed the keeper at the edge of his box right when Rakitic lost the ball, which meant he was backing up while Oscar was driving toward the box. As he was backing up, or as soon as he stopped, Oscar hit the ball, which meant the keeper was on his back foot and not ready to move at all. It was hit early by Oscar for good reason. It was literally the perfect shot. The keeper should have done better still.
