BEIJING,June 24 (Xinhuanet) -- In Group A, Brazil relied on its star Neymar for two early goals to beat Cameroon 4-1, and reach the World Cup’s knockout stage. Fred and Fernandinho added second-half goals for Brazil, who will next face South American rival Chile.
In another game, Mexico surged into the World Cup’s knockout stage with a 3-1 win over Croatia. Rafael Marquez, Andres Guardado and Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez scored in a 10-minute span in the second half. The Croats had to win to advance and held the bulk of possession. But they had trouble seriously threatening goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, who kept out all efforts until an 87th-minute consolation goal from Ivan Perisic.
