    And the game is over! Brazil takes an easy win over Mexico, Neymar will surely be the man of the match. The Mexicans should have played more offensively and more open to get anything out of the game but they decided to close in their own half. It costed them their second successive defeat.
     
    Game over.
     
    90+3
