Neymar broke the deadlock with a fine finish in the 42nd minute. Ramires started the move with a long pass out to Andre Santos on the left wing and his cross picked out Neymar in the penalty area from where he curled a low shot into the far corner. Neymar then scored a 77th minute penalty after winning the spot-kick by tempting Adam into a clumsy foul.
