After about an hour of playing time, with no goals and only three shots on target combined, a corner flag was required to be replaced mid-match.

However, after the linesmen and the ballboy failed to twist the pole back into the ground, Brazil defender Alexsandro raced over and fixed it himself.

It took a few minutes to ensure the corner flag was properly in place, which could add a handful of injury time at the end of this match and set the scene for late drama.

Something you definitely don't see every day!
