The corner swerved in near post where the Brazilian keeper dove out to cut it off. The ball bounced away right to Miguel Basulto who finished low to the backpost.
Brazil searched for the equalizer, but Mexico keeper Jose Rodriguez stood strong in the nets allowing Mexico to hold on for the important win. Mexico will face Japan to close Group B play while Brazil faces unbeaten Switzerland who has already clinched passage into the final 16.
