Casemiro - 6

Hustled inside the box to block Hector Herrera's shot in the 21st minute after the Mexican midfielder skipped past Miranda to open up the space. Once Brazil got onto the front foot in the second half Casemiro kept tabs on Mexico's midfield.

Phillipe Coutinho - 5

Rushed his opportunities to have a crack at goal, blazing two chances over the cross bar while many others were saved by Ochoa. 

Willian - 7

Tracked back to win the ball when Brazil were under threat and was vital in maintaining their confidence going forward. Got into dangerous positions with Gabriel Jesus hitting the by-line and drilling crosses in. A great turn of pace and cross for Neymar who opened the scoring. 

Neymar Jr. - 7.5

Produced Brazil's first shot of the match which stung the palms of Ochoa in the fifth minute. Danced past Ayala and Alvarez to open up the space for the shot but it was smothered by Ochoa. Extraordinary dribbling and backheel to Willian before he opened the scoring. 

 

Gabriel Jesus - 5.5

Fought hard to hold the ball up and win it back to stop Brazil from getting sprung on the counter-attack. Had a half chance halfway through the first half that was saved by Ochoa.

Brought on for Paulinho with ten minutes to go. Released Neymar who crossed for Firmino for the second goal.

Finished off the match with Brazil's second, a tap-in from Neymar's cross.
