Brazil scored four times in the second half as they continued their World Cup preparations with a 6-2 victory over Panama in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.

>The lead only lasted until the 14th minute, Amir Murillo's free kick going in off Matheus Cunha before his Manchester United colleague Casemiro headed in a cross from Vinícius to restore their advantage before the break.

>Brentford's Igor Thiago added a fifth from the penalty spot three minutes later after being fouled by Orlando Mosquera.

>Danilo found the bottom corner from Lucas Paqueta's through ball to add a sixth before Carlos Harvey reduced the deficit late on for Panama.
