Brazil disappointed the home crowd on Tuesday when they settled for a goalless draw against Mexico in their second match in the ongoing 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Brazil, who started the tournament with an impressive 3-1 win over Croatia, was outplayed and outhustled by a determined Mexican side, who managed to force a draw against their favored opponent.

But despite failing to secure an all-important win, Brazil coach Luis Felipe Scolari assured their fans that there is nothing to worry about, saying that the team actually played better than in their first match.

Scolari insisted that the Brazilian side played better that they did against Croatia in their tournament opener, and that the goalless draw against Mexico was a result of the impressive goalkeeping of Guillermo Ochoa, who had several outstanding saves for his team.

"The result wasn't what we wanted, but I'm happy with the improvement that I saw from my team," Scolari said via Daily Mail. "The team played better than it did against Croatia, I think it improved about 10 percent from that match. I was pretty happy with what I saw on the pitch. We have the tendency to think that other teams are not good, but Mexico is good, and they played well just as we did."

The Brazilian media blasted their team with one newspaper saying that the team played "poorly and stops on Mexico's defense", but midfielder Oscar played down all criticisms against them.

"We created enough chances to win the match but their goalkeeper made the saves," Oscar said. "At least we didn't lose. Mexico is a good team. We knew that it was going to be difficult."

Brazil will look to bounce back when they collide with Brazil on Monday wherein they could still clinch the top spot Group A with a convincing victory.

Scolari could make changes to the lineup in hopes of giving his team more scoring options. Hulk, who missed the team's match against Mexico due to a left leg injury, will likely start against Cameroon.
