Neymar scored a sensational Volley from just inside the box in the ninth minute after a poor clearance by the opposition defense as Brazil beat Mexico to reach Confederations Cup semi final.

Brazilian number 10 produced another incredible performance in the tournament and he was very annoying for the Mexican defenders the whole time, his efforts were rewarded early in the match when Dani Alves cross was headed away poorly by a defender but the ball falls out of the air and onto Neymar left foot, who lashes home a wonderful strike straight into the net.

The second half was mainly played in Mexico's half of the pitch as the new Barcelona forward outplayed the defenders with some amazing moves, where he also assisted Jô in the injury time after dribbling 2 players on the left of the box and squares for Jô, who taps into an empty net.

Result:
Group A

Brazil: Julio Cesar, Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Marcelo; Luiz Gustavo, Paulinho, Oscar; Hulk, Neymar, Fred.
