Brazil controlled the ball early the repeated pressure resulted in three corner kicks in the opening 12 minutes. Oscar had Brazil's first direct shot on goal when Ospina caught his indirect free kick from 25 yards in the 13th minute.

Cuadrado had Colombia's first scoring opportunity in the 22nd minute when his indirect free kick sailed wide off the left post.

Colombia intensified pressure in the final 10 minutes of the first half. Camilo Zubiga's shot 2 yards inside the large area sailed above the crossbar in the 38th minute. Brazil goalkeeper Jefferson made a diving stop on Cuadrado's 18-yard shot in the 41st minute.
