Brazil 2 Mexico 0: Nine in a row for Dunga's men

Brazil recorded a ninth consecutive victory since the World Cup with a 2-0 friendly success over Mexico in Sao Paulo.

Since their World Cup on home soil ended in humiliating defeats to Germany and Netherlands last year, Brazil - under the leadership of Dunga for a second time following Luiz Felipe Scolari's departure - have won every game, conceding just two goals in the process.

Sunday's victory was the result of another assured display, as first-half goals from Philippe Coutinho - his first for his country - and Diego Tardelli proved the difference.

A 10th straight victory would serve as perfect preparation before the Copa, although for Mexico - who drew 1-1 with Peru earlier this week - this defeat served as another setback in their own build-up to the competition.

As a result, Brazil were able to see out a comfortable victory as they gained further momentum heading into their first Copa clash against Peru in a week's time.
