After a stunning win over Mexico, Brazil secured a berth in the quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup 2018 on Monday. Brazil knocked Mexico out of the tournament with a 2-0 victory. And leading Brazil from the front, Neymar Jr dominated their Latin American neighbour quite well in the second-half.

As fans around the globe glued to the TV screen in anticipation of who would emerge as the winner, it was a mixed-bag of emotions for all. With most popular teams including Germany, Argentina, Portugal and Spain exiting the World Cup early — soccer fans had pinned their hope on the five-time champions. But with Mexico’s impressive performance in this edition and many dubbing it as a ‘World of the underdogs’, many were hoping them to qualify in the third round as well.
