Douglas Costa teed the ball up perfectly for Neymar on the edge of the Belgium box. This was the chance, the moment, that the Brazil No.10 had been waiting for. With an almost nonchalant swing of his right foot, he sent the ball spinning towards goal.
Every Belgian fan inside the Kazan Arena feared the worst but then Thibaut Courtois intervened, tipping Neymar's almost perfectly-struck shot over the bar with his fingertips.
It transpired that this was instead his chance, his moment, the one he had been waiting for to show Real Madrid and the watching world that he is the best goalkeeper on the planet.
