Brazil are through to the World Cup quarter-final after defeating Mexico 2-0 in Samara.
Neymar broke the deadlock after 51 minutes of a pacey, end-to-end tie, tapping in after Willian sprinted down the left and fired in a low cross. After that, Brazil were in full control of the game.
Substitute, Roberto Firmino added a late second - another tap-in - to seal the win and set up a quarter-final tie with either Belgium or Japan, who play each other tonight.
Neymar's strike made Brazil the World Cup's all-time scoring leaders with 227 goals, surpassing Germany with 226.
Mexico looked threatening early in the first-half, but couldn't take advantage of their dominance, failing to have a shot on target until the hour mark.
