Neymar scores the 100th goal of Brazil 2014
The Barcelona forward was back at the scene of
his spectacular goal against Japan
in the opening game of last year's Confederations Cup, which
kick-started Brazil's march to that title, and coach Luiz Felipe Scolari
will desperately hope this result can have a similar impact.
Scolari named an identical line-up to the one that beat Japan, meaning Hulk returned from injury to replace Ramires in the same 4-3-3 formation that edged them past Croatia.
Any frustration from Tuesday's 0-0 draw with Mexico appeared to have dissipated as droves of yellow-and-green-clad fans created a sensational atmosphere inside Brasilia's magnificent Estadio Nacional, and Brazil responded by pouring forward in search of an early goal.
Neymar's double made him the tournament's leading scorer with four goals
