Brazil stopped unable in front of the Mexican goalkeeper
Jeuermoa Ochoa, to draw the two teams scoreless in the game that brought them
together tonight in the city of Fortaleza, opening the second round of the
first group for the World Cup.

bulwark against Brazilian attempts, and saves from serious balls, which may
shake the nets of any goalkeeper in the world.
Brazil are still at the top of the group with 4 points on
goal difference from Mexico, and will not affect the other match in the group
tomorrow between Cameroon and Croatia, who lost the first round.
Samba team dominated at half-time, the percentage of the acquisition
of the ball to the 54%, but the Mexican defense, led by veteran Rafael Marquez
was a bulwark against Brazilian attempts, united much of the effectiveness of
triple attack Neymar, Oscar, Fred, who fell in the offside trap three times in
the first 45 minutes.
Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa was star of the first
half, who kept a clean sheet and prevented samba dancers from two stressing goals.
Felipe Scolari resorted to play with two wings, pushing Oscar
in the front line and put Ramirez, who was backed up in the first match with
Luis Gustavo to meet the speeds of large players, Mexico, and succeeded this
combination to invalidate the seriousness of Uribe Peralta and Giovani dos
Santos.
Miguel Herrera, coach of Mexico played a manner 3-5-2, and
built his offensive plan on threating Julio Cesar goalkeeper of Brazil, by far shots,
because of the hardness of the Brazilian defense occupied by Marcelo and Dani
Alves on the parties, and David Luiz and Thiago Silva in the heart.
And already shots of Jose Vasquez, and Andres Guardado,
Hector Herrera formed the greatest threat to the land owners goalkeeper,
reaching 4 Shots to goalkeeper Cesar all went just over the bar.
Scolari Tried activating rows and push three substitutes in
the second half, where Bernard and Joe Alves and Willian participated instead
of Ramírez, Oscar and Fred. On the other hand coach of Mexico responded by involving
Javier Hernandez instead Peralta, and
Raul Jimenez instead Giovanni Dos
Santos, Marco Fabian instaed Hector Perera.
The first half was filled with excitement and missed
opportunities, and the Mexican goalkeeper Ochoa continued his brilliance and
saved two of the other header to Neymar and Thiago Silva, while the Mexican
national team almost to spoil the night on the masses of the samba in stadium
"Fortaleza" by two shots for Guardado and Marco Fabian Julio Cesar responded
to them brilliantly, before the Turkish referee lunched the final whistle, and the
two teams share the points of the meeting.
