Brazil produced a ruthless second-half display to crush Serbia 4-0 and seize control of Group E at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. After Vinicius Junior broke the deadlock just before half-time, Neymar exploded into life with a rapid-fire brace that left the Serbian defense in tatters. Rodrygo added a late fourth to underline the Selecao’s total dominance and virtually guarantee their place in the round of 16.

Neymar’s clinical finishing turned the match inside four explosive minutes, showcasing the vision and timing that have defined his World Cup career. Serbia, unable to cope with Brazil’s quick transitions and intricate passing, offered little resistance once the floodgates opened. The result leaves Brazil on seven points and in pole position to advance from a group that now looks increasingly one-sided.

Coach Dorival Júnior’s tactical tweaks at the break paid immediate dividends, releasing the attacking flair of his star players. With momentum firmly on their side, Brazil will approach their remaining fixtures with confidence, knowing a strong finish could set the tone for a deep tournament run.
