Thiago Silva earns MasterCard Man of the Match award against Venezuela

Thiago Silva scooped the MasterCard Man of the Match for his display during Brazil’s 2-1 win over Venezuela on Sunday.

The Paris Saint-Germain centre-back opened the scoring nine minutes in with an expertly struck volley, allying his attacking threat to a staunch defensive showing.

Roberto Firmino added a second for Brazil in the second half, but Venezuela made things interesting with Miku’s diving header six minutes from time.

The win guaranteed the Samba Boys a place in the quarter-finals, where they will face Paraguay in Concepción on June 27.
