Brazil Vs Mexico

Ochoa denies two points to Brazil
Final score
Brazil

Match started in a thunderous atmosphere in the stadium. Mexico started with little muscular challenges. After lazy first 10 minutes, Brazil started to gain possession. They started flowing into Mexican box. Neymar showed skill and pace to run towards the Mexican area, in the 16', but was fowled. While Peralta, who scored 9 goals in last 7 appearances, disturbed Brazilian defense with Dos Santos. Herreira came with a blistering shot in the 24', but pushed over by Cesar. 25th minute of play saw an astonishing save by Ochoa to deny Neymar. Neymar, who connected Paulinho's cross and the entire crowd thought the ball was going in. Silva made an excellent tackle to foil Mexican attack on the other hand. Brazil got another chance in the 42', when Alves was fowled and referee offer a free kick. Neymar's kick was chested down brilliantly by Thiago Silva, to make chance for Paulinho or Luiz, who were in the box. But, Ochoa again stood strong and decisive to deny Paulinho. Oscar, who was outstanding in the opening match was rarely seen in the first half. Both left for break without scoring.

In the second half, Brazil hardly worked towards a goal, but all were stopped either by experienced Rodriguez and Marquez, or by Ochoa. The best chance came in for Brazil from a free kick. Thiago Silva got a clean close range free header but Ochoa denied him with a blistering hand work. Jo came through inside box, but hit away from target. In the 91', Cesar stopped a shot from Aguilar and there was nothing left in the match after that.
