FIFA 2018 | Live score and stats: Brazil beats Mexico 2-0; enters quarterfinals

Only France, who have beaten Brazil three times in six meetings, have a better record of the remaining teams in the last 16.

Brazil and Mexican players in action during the FIFA World Cup 2018 round of 16 match in Samara on July 2, 2018.

There are not many teams in world football who boast an even moderately successful record against five-time World Cup winners Brazil but in recent years Mexico have proved they have what it takes to upstage the yellow-shirted powerhouse.

Brazil brought in Filipe Luis at left back for their World Cup last 16 encounter with Mexico on Monday with regular starter Marcelo failing to fully recover from a back injury.

It is the only change made by coach Tite from the group stage win over Serbia, meaning Gabriel Jesus, Willian and Philippe Coutinho support Neymar in attack.

Opponents Mexico make two changes from the 3-0 loss to Sweden, with Hugo Ayala replacing the suspended Hector Moreno in central defence and captain Rafael Marquez also coming into the side.
