KOCHI: Lincoln has scored in each of the three group matches, while Paulinho has scored twice and assisted once from his attacking midfield role. Brenner, the direct replacement for Vinicius, found his name on the scoresheet in the 2-0 win over Niger.
Honduras, meanwhile, suffered heavy defeats at the hands of Japan (1-6) and France (1-5), but progressed to the Round of 16 as one of the four best third-placed finishers courtesy of a 5-0 drubbing of New Caledonia.
"We are happy to be here. We did commit a few errors against France and Japan, but we will give a tough fight and could surprise the Brazilians. We will definitely play to win. Brazil is a strong team, but we will try to break their defence," said Honduras coach Jose Valladares.
