Brazil Romps Past Cameroon and Into Knockout Rounds

A restless country and its capital breathed out on Monday. Their cherished national soccer group, which has not played with the exactness and strength that numerous had trusted for in the World Cup, all things considered proceeded onward to the following round with a persuading win.

Playing before a throbbing record swarm at Estádio Nacional, Brazil beat Cameroon, 4-1, behind two objectives from Neymar to win Group A. On Saturday it will play Chile, the runner-up in Group B, in the Round of 16.

There was developing weight and a substantial anxious pressure around the city and at the stadium, owing to the likelihood that Brazil could have completed second in its gathering or — more terrible — been thumped out. Much obliged at the end of the day to Neymar, Brazil survived.

Presently the test is Chile, a skilled, striking group that has made Brazil Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari anxious for months.

A year prior, Scolari said that when the World Cup came around, Chile was a group he would not like to play. Anyhow that is precisely how the seedings functioned out, and even in the post-match elation, Scolari repeated his alarm.

"On the off chance that I could pick, I would have picked another person," he said. "Chile is exceptionally troublesome. They are a South American group, they have quality, they are composed, and they have the will."

Keeping in mind the end goal to move past its South American neighbors, Brazil must enhance in a few territories. In spite of the unbalanced triumph, its shielding was suspect, and it has depended intensely on Neymar, the 22-year-old marvel who likewise safeguarded the Brazilians out of their first amusement, scoring two objectives against Croatia.

On Monday, he rescued the Brazilians from the likelihood of a lamentable consummation by scoring two first-half objectives, both on low shots.

With the gathering of people frantic for an objective to unleash its energy, Neymar gave the minute in the seventeenth moment, part two Cameroon guards and redirecting a flawless square pass from Luiz Gustavo for the 100th objective of the 2014 World Cup, in Brazil's 100th Cup diversion.

One touch was all it took, and Brazil had the lead, yielding a booming racket from the swarm. In any case the jam went quiet in the 26th moment when Cameroon shockingly drew even.

Joël Matip redirected an Allan Nyom cross past goalkeeper Júlio César. Nyom had brought the ball down the left wing and beaten Dani Alves, not once however twice, to discover enough space to cross the ball. However the true scalawag on the play was David Luiz, who let Matip slip in behind him for the touch.

It was a terrible minute for the neighborhood fans, however nine minutes after the fact, Neymar brought help once more. He took a Marcelo through ball from the left and moved along the edge of the case before beating a shot home under the outstretched leg of Nicolas N'koulou and past Charles Itandje for the score.

Thus Cameroon completed its crusade in absolute fiasco, with a larger number of contentions among the players than objectives. In any case its capacity to open up the Brazilian back four gave more worry about Brazil's protection heading into the knockout stage, regardless of the possibility that Scolari oppose this idea.

"Concerning my safeguard, I don't have a solitary drop of dread," he said. "They are phenomenal; they are radiant. Characteristically, they might be tested like any guard. Now and then, shields get tested. I was an incredible shield myself, and here and there individuals figured out how to provoke me."

In the second half, there was minimal requirement for staunch shielding, as the Brazilians swarmed everywhere throughout the wavering Cameroon players. Fred, Brazil's under-weight man in advance, scored his first objective of the competition, in the same way that Thiago Silva, Brazil's skipper, had ensured he would the day preceding.

Donning another mustache that Neymar said was his thought, Fred headed the ball home in the 49th moment — or all the more correctly, he said, he mustached it home.

"As astounding as it sounds, the ball hit my mustache," he said. "It was a mustache objective."

At last, Fernandinho, who went ahead in the second half, gave the last edge of triumph as fans moved and sang in the stands.

With four objectives, Neymar has officially satisfied the trusts and desires of numerous fans who were holding up to check whether he could assume control over the competition. Presently that he has, others are worried that Brazil may be excessively dependent on him.

"As Argentina relies on upon Messi and different groups rely on upon different stars," Scolari said. "Be that as it may that is O.k. They are abnormal amount players, and star players have any kind of effect."

Neymar did that, and with Fred getting into the demonstration and Fernandinho looking hazardous, Brazil at long last began to look like the Brazil individuals anticipated that will see.

"The group has got back that soul that we used to have," Fernandinho said.
