Neymar celebrates scoring Brazil's first goal and his second of the tournament. Neymar's performance was his best of the tournament so far, being involved in both the goals and guiding Mexico to the quarterfinal.

Brazil players and coaching staff show togetherness by celebrating Roberto Firmino's goal together. Roberto Firmino was a late substitute who assured Brazil of a quarterfinal spot with his 88th-minute goal after the ball had been laid on a platter by star mar Neymar.

Good work by Neymar on the left gave Roberto Firmino an easy tap-in at the far post. The Mexican players appeal for a possible offside but Neymar, who received a pass from Fernandinho, and Firmino, who ran onto a Neymar throughball, were both onside.

Contrasting emotions: Neymar celebrates helping Brazil through to the quarterfinal, while Miguel Layun and Hirving Lozano show disappointment at Mexico's elimination from the World Cup at the round of 16 stage.
