The host team of the FIFA World Cup 2014, Brazil showed a feeble display yesterday with a goal-less draw against Mexico.

Brazilian forward Neymar, and the captain Thiago Silva had the best of Brazil's chances but were denied by the Mexican goal keeper Ochoa.

However, Mexican side also had their chances which were blown away by the home goal-keeper Julio Cesar.

The result leaves both sides with a chance of topping Group A. Brazil face Cameroon in Brasilia in their final match, knowing a point will be enough to see them through, BBC reported.

This was a game in which the hosts' reliance on the brilliance of Neymar and Oscar was exposed. Neymar was in the thick of the action from the off, dancing away from Mexico defenders, and drawing several fouls.
