Brasil Global Tour looks back at the major talking points after new coach Tite made it six wins out of six with victory in Lima on Tuesday.

Brazil took another huge step toward Russia 2018 on Tuesday as goals from Gabriel Jesus and Renato Augusto sealed a 2-0 victory in Peru to make it six wins from six World Cup qualifiers for new coach Tite.

The five-time world champions came into the 12th round of the CONMEBOL qualifying as group leaders and earned all three points to ensure they finished 2016 on top of the pile.

The victory meant Neymar kept up his remarkable record of having only ended on the losing side once in his 74 caps, and it also saw Gabriel Jesus end 2016 as the Selecao's joint-top scorer alongside a reborn Philippe Continho.
