Neymar netted Brazil’s second goal of the game to double their lead in only the 12th minute of the match.
The Round of 16 tie offers the lucrative prospect of a quarter-final match with Croatia on Friday after they defeated Japan on penalties this afternoon.
Vinicius Jr opened the scoring in the seventh minute before a foul in the box led to a Brazil penalty, which was neatly converted by the Paris Saint-Germain star as he slotted it in the bottom right corner.
Take a look at Neymar’s goal below:
