Goals from Lucas and Neymar earned Brazil a 2-0 win over Argentina in the second leg of the Superclasico de las Americas friendly here on Wednesday.

Both South American giants were missing their European-based stars for the game as they had been for the first leg in Cordoba, Argentina, on September 15 which ended in a goalless draw.

Lucas, the Sao Paulo midfielder, put the 2014 World Cup hosts into a 53rd minute lead with Santos striker Neymar adding a second quarter of an hour from time.

Brazil have two more friendlies lined up, against Costa Rica on October 7 and Mexico four days later.
