Serbia eliminated from FIFA World Cup
Brazil beat Serbia 2-0 on Wednesday at the 2018 FIFA World Cup thanks to goals from Paulinho and Thiago Silva.
The result means Brazil qualify for the knockout stages of the tournament as Group E winners, while Serbia finish third and are eliminated.
Brazil will face Mexico in a FIFA World Cup Round of 16 clash in Samara after they won Group E by beating Serbia 2-0 at the Spartak Moscow Stadium.
The South Americans thus finished on seven points from three matches, while Serbia were left facing an early flight home after failing to get the win they so desperately needed.
Brazil took the lead in the 36th minute when Paulinho raced through to on to through ball by Philippe Coutinho to lob over the on-rushing goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic.
Serbia pushed for an equaliser but lacked the cutting edge and were caught by a classic suck-punch when Thiago Silva headed home powerfully from an outswinging Neymar corner on 68 minutes.
Brazil face Mexico in the last 16 of the World Cup on Monday at the Samara Arena. Serbia are back in action in September when they take on Lithuania in the UEFA Nations League.
