Brazil vs Mexico: Brazil seals Mexico’s World Cup bid with 2-0
Neymar and Firmino scored as Brazil beat Mexico 2-0 in their World Cup last 16 clash on Monday (Jul 2) to earn a quarter-final against either Belgium or Japan.
After an open but goalless first half, tournament favourites Brazil broke through in the 51st minute when a Neymar backheel sent Willian clear on the left and the star striker was on hand to slide in to reach his team mate’s low return cross.
