Brazil beat Mexico 2-0 in a last 16 match at the Samara Arena on Monday to book their place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Russia.
For all his playacting, Neymar was the star man for Tite’s side after opening the scoring from Willian’s cross before teeing up Roberto Firmino for a tap-in late on.
The Brazilians had chances to register a more comfortable win, but Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa made a string of good saves.
Despite their disappointment, the Mexicans exit the World Cup reflecting on a campaign that saw them make many friends after winning their opening two matches against Germany and South Korea.
These were the best of the Neymar tweets and jokes from Brazil 2-0 Mexico at Russia 2018:

I expect Neymar to be the first human being to achieve the incredible double of winning a World Cup trophy as well as an Oscar.— Ramesh Srivats (@rameshsrivats) July 2, 2018
