Brazil in World Cup quarter-finals after beating Mexico
Tehran (KNA) - Brilliant Neymar has helped Brazil win its tough battle in the 2018 World Cup last 16 against Mexico as the Selecao nears its dream of a historic sixth title in the prestigious tournament.
The Brazilians beat Mexico 2-0 in Samara, Russia, on Monday with a goal and an assist by Neymar, both in the second half.Brazil was on low key in the first half of a match that saw the Mexicans pegging the five-time World Cup champions back and creating several half chances.
However, Neymar started a brilliant move in Mexico's box where he finished a fine cross from Willian into the net. The world's most expensive player then set up another goal in the 88th minute, crossings for Firmino who tapped the ball home.
