Brazil-Mexico

Neymar made the difference for Brazil again, scoring in the ninth minute and making one for Jo to give the hosts a 2-0 win over Mexico and virtually secure a spot in the semifinals of the Confederations Cup on Wednesday. The Brazilian striker scored his second goal of the tournament with a left-footed volley from just inside the penalty box after Mexican defenders failed to clear a cross. Mexico fought strongly but had little finishing power up front. The result leaves Mexico in a near impossible position to advance in the World Cup warm-up competition. Brazil opened with a 3-0 win over Japan, while Mexico lost 2-1 to Italy. Japan and Italy play the other Group A match later on Wednesday.
