Brazil sent Mexico out of the World Cup with a 2-0 win in Samara. Neymar scored a goal and assisted the second to send his team into the quarterfinals for a seventh consecutive time.
Mexico had a good start as they dominated early in the Round of 16 match. However, Brazil grew stronger as the match progress and started to take control.
Six minutes into second half Neymar finally broke the deadlock. The world's most expensive player slid to score from Willian's good cross. It was Brazil's 227th goal at the World Cup, ahead of Germany as the all-time top scorers.
Mexico tried to regain control of the match, but Brazil got so much talents in their squad. Firminho was brought-in late in the second half and he buried the opponent with a goal in the 88th minute.
Mexico are eliminated again from the tournament as they have been at every World Cup since 1994. Brazil will face Belgium in their last-eight tie in Kazan on Friday.
