Brazil's much-needed victory sealed top spot in Group A to set up a quarter-final meeting with Colombia on Saturday. Denmark progressed despite defeat in Salvador as Iraq and South Africa played out a 1-1 draw in the other Group A match. Crisis-hit Argentina didn't survive a sluggish start as they were dumped out by Honduras, whilst 2012 gold medallists Mexico were also sent packing. Colombia moved into the knockout stages by beating Nigeria 2-0 with captain Teo Gutierrez and Dorlan Pabon on target. The first two games we didn't play badly, but the goals didn't come and sometimes the fans focus solely on the result."
