Full-time: Brazil 4-0 Panama – Neymar [27"], Daniel Alves [40"], Hulk [46"], Willian [73"] – Very convincing from Brazil after a laboured start. Neymar was outstanding. The forward not only scored, but played a big part in both Hulk and Willian"s goals. Next up for the Seleção is Serbia on Friday. The Europeans should provide more competitive opposition, ahead of Brazil"s 2014 FIFA World Cup opener against Croatia, on 12 June.
