On Wednesday, Confederations Cup A group matches between Brazilians and Mexicans took place at the "Castelao" stadium.
The hosts immediately took control - they tried to overwhelm their opponents with a wave of attacks and even scored a goal, which was disallowed by the referee.
Soon, the first goal of the match was scored - in the 9th minute, D.Alves passed the ball into the penalty area, a Mexican player unsuccessfully cleared it, and Neymar took advantage of the opportunity to score - 1-0.
After a few minutes, C.Salcido tried to respond with a long-range shot, but the ball flew beside the goal.
F.Scolari's team again played actively in offense - this time Neymar was off target.
In the 35th minute, Brazilian D.Luiz suffered a nose injury, and although the defender later returned to the field, the host's game was disrupted.
At the beginning of the second half, T.Silva tackled J.Corona, but the referee flagged for offside and the score remained unchanged, disappointing the local fans.
Ten minutes later, Hulk broke away from the Mexican goalkeeper and shot wide.
The Mexican national team responded with dangerous attacks, but the score remained unchanged.
At the end of the match, Neymar had the final say - he outwitted two opponents, made a pass to Jo, and the substitute player who appeared on the field did not miss - 2-0.
Brazilians, who collected 6 points, remained leaders of Group A.
