That's it for us tonight - Thanks for joining us, and head over to the Mexico-Germany live blog on our website.

FT: Brazil 0-0 South Africa : This was NOT in the script. Boos ring out in the stadium at full time, as a disappointing Brazil are unable to break down 10 man South Africa in their opening game of the 2016 Rio Olympics.

90+5' Neymar cuts inside and shoots, but his low effort is right at Khune. The crowd groans in agony.

90+4' Mathoho with an excellent block from Neymar's cross. He's been fantastic tonight.

90+3' An excellent dummy from Neymar allows Zeca to collect the ball unmarked at the far post, but a poor first touch sees the move break down. South Africa eventually hack the ball clear. Can they hold on?

90+2' The crowd are heavily booing as Khune is down and claiming to have an injury, but the referee does not buy it.

90' 4 minutes of injury time - Neymar and Mobara with some words between them as South Africa face up to a free-kick.

90' Keegan Dolly almost singlehandedly sets off on a counter, but watches his ball forward incorrectly laid off.

89' Neymar and Luan attempt a 1-2 on the edge of the box, but Mathoho clears for South Africa.

87' South Africa almost fashion a couple of chances on the counter - with Dolly heavily involved. Brazil are back attacking though.

85' CHANCE! Neymar with a lovely inswinging cross to the far post almost finds Jesus, only for Coatzee to clear. Jesus screams in frustration.

84' Douglas Santos comes off for William

81' A quick throw catches out the South African defence, with Gabriel Jesus's poor touch allowing Coatzee to clear for a corner. Khune collects the ball from the subsequent set-piece but goes down injured after his head clatters against Maia's. The game is stopped as he receives his treatment.

78' Great defending! Mobara with a last ditch tackle denies Luan from scoring after a brilliant backheel from Neymar sent him clear in the box.

77' CLOSE! A long ball nearly finds Jesus, but Khune comes out to clear. The move ends with Gabigol's overhead kick being saved comfortably by Khune.

75' Neymar with a lovely dummied reverse pass to Gabigol, and his low shot is saved by Khune, with Gabriel Jesus heading the rebound over. South Africa living dangerously here

73' Maia goes into the book for a cynical foul. South Africa are unable to make anything of their set-piece, with Brazil wasting their counter-attack as well.

72' WHAT A STRIKEE!!! Just as I was denigrating his motivation, Neymar cuts inside on his right foot and unleashes a swerving effort from range that narrowly evades the top corner.

71' CHANCE! Gabigol with a volley from a left-wing cross, sends it over from the box. That's two of Brazil's best prospects missing gilt-edged chances, while their talisman looks well off the pace.

69' HOW DID HE MISS?!!! Neymar starts of the play with the ball from Luan rolled across the box to Gabriel Jesus with Khune stranded. Facing an open goal, the 27 million pound Manchester City signing manages to hit the post!

67' Renato Augusto comes off for Rafinha - a bit of a mixed reception from the crowd. Meanwhile, RSA midfielder Motuba receives some treatment for an injury.

If #RSA can get a least a draw here then that’ll be a brilliant first step in this competition, especially with 10 men. #Rio2016

65' SHOT! After a spell of unrelenting Brazilian pressure, Zeca lets fly from about 25 yards out, but Khune makes the save. The two banks of four look fairly organized, as South Africa mounts a rearguard action.

62' This is quite a dilemma for South Africa coach Owen de Game, as just moments before Mvala was sent off, he had substituted in a centre-forward, Morris.
