Its debateable if that was an assist from Neymar as he pllayed the ball towards goal early.
88'
GOAL FOR BRAZIL! Neymar is through on goal, his shot is saved and it falls to Firmino to tap it into an empty net.

86'
Mexico have a corner after Layun's cross is headed behind by Fagner. The delivery is swung in but Vela is flagged off-side.
84'
Another efficient performance from Brazil, nothing spectacular but they are getting the job done without too much fuss just like againsr Costa Rica and Serbia in the group stage.

80'
Fernandinho is on for Paulinho.
79'
The changes have not quite had the desired affect for the Mexicans. They are tiring after that frenetic opening 20 minutes.
77'
Salcedo is booked for tripping Neymar, who has been fouled a lot in the second period.

75'
Former referee Mark Clattenburg told ITV that Layun's stamp on Neymar's foot should have been a red card for violent conduct. Is strange that there was no VAR review.

71'
The Mexican bench are furious with Neymar's reaction which appeared somewhat exagerrated. No card is issued to Layun.
70'
INJURY! Neymar has gone down in agony after Layun appeared to put his foot down on his ankle when he was on the floor as he tried to get the ball.
68'
CLOSE! Willian does brilliantly to burst into the box and pull it back for Neymar whose low shot goes wide after taking a slight deflection.
