Thiago Silva was delighted to score from a training-ground move with Neymar in Brazil's 2-0 triumph over Serbia on Wednesday. Brazil clinched top spot in Group E to set up a last-16 meeting with Mexico in Samara on Monday, Paulinho opening the scoring before Silva wrapped things up in the second half.

The Paris Saint-Germain centre-back headed Neymar's left-wing corner home at the near post to end a strong spell for Serbia, who had threatened to equalise through Aleksandar Mitrovic. Four of Silva's six Brazil goals have been assisted by Neymar from a corner, and Silva was delighted the combination worked to help the Selecao weather the Serbia storm. "In the moments when we were suffering, we stayed focused to prevent the other team attacking," he told Globo.
