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.
