PORTO ALEGRE Isaac Bonga Lakers Jersey , Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Paulinho and Philippe Coutinho struck second-half goals as Brazil won their ninth consecutive World Cup qualifier with a 2-0 victory over Ecuador on Thursday.
Paulinho found himself unmarked following a Willian corner and thumped in from close range before second-half substitute Coutinho combined with Gabriel Jesus to double the hosts' lead.
The result at Gremio Arena saw Brazil move to 36 points in the 10-team South American zone standings, 11 points clear of second-placed Colombia. Ecuador stayed on 20 points, three points shy of the automatic qualification places.
"It was a tough match and an important result because we were able to carry on the great momentum that we've been building," Chelsea midfielder Willian told Globo TV after the match.
Brazil's talismanic forward Neymar had a frustrating night in his first international match since completing a world record 222 million-euro move to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona. The 25-year-old rarely threatened Ecuador's defence and his best chance came minutes before the end when a long-range effort flew just wide.
As expected, Coutinho began on the bench Moritz Wagner Lakers Jersey , having not played for Liverpool for almost a month amid speculation linking him with Barcelona.
After a first half in which Brazil looked in control but lacked inspiration, the playmaker was introduced on the hour mark and he immediately changed the course of the match.
Suddenly, the Selecao looked more composed going forward and in the 69th minute the hosts got their reward when Willian's corner fell to Paulinho, who appeared to have all the time in the world to blast his shot in from the edge of the six-yard box.
Minutes later, Coutinho glided past two defenders and lofted a perfectly weighted pass into the path of Gabriel Jesus. The Manchester City forward then flicked the ball over his opponent's head and headed a pass back to Coutinho who guided a first-time shot past goalkeeper Maximo Banguera.
In other South American zone qualifiers Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk Lakers Jersey , two-time World Cup winners Argentina remained outside the automatic qualification places for football's showpiece tournament in Russia next year after a 0-0 draw with Uruguay.
The Albiceleste's front three of Lionel Messi, Paulo Dybala and Mauro Icardi created plenty of chances but were unable to find a way past a disciplined Uruguay defence at Estadio Centenario.
Luis Suarez, who started the match despite battling a knee injury, limped off the pitch in the 83rd minute and appears doubtful for Uruguay's next qualifier against Paraguay on Tuesday.
Argentina remained fifth in the standings with 23 points, a point behind third-placed Uruguay Luol Deng Lakers Jersey , with three matches remaining in the CONMEBOL qualifying tournament.
The top four teams will earn a direct berth at next year's World Cup in Russia while the fifth-ranked side will book an intercontinental playoff spot.
Earlier, Paraguay kept their slim qualification hopes alive with a shock 3-0 defeat of reigning Copa America champions Chile in Santiago.
Victor Caceres and Richard Ortiz scored in the second half after a 24th-minute own goal from Arturo Vidal.
Meanwhile, Colombia and Venezuela played out a 0-0 draw in the Venezuelan city of San Cristobal.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- The renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is still at a "very early stage," and cannot be assessed yet, Mexico's Confederation of National Chambers of Commerce (Concanaco) said Monday.
"They are starting to move some topics Lance Stephenson Lakers Jersey , but still at the initial stage of proposals, analysis and possibilities," Concanaco's President Enrique Solana told reporters, as he was leaving the hotel hosting the second round of talks in Mexico City.
"There is still time to go before there can be news on the matter. Right now, they are revising Josh Hart Lakers Jersey , talking and adjusting. They are warming up their engines. It's too soon to say how the talks are going," added Solana.
The three-way talks among Mexico, Canada and the United States, which began with a first round held in Washington in August, aim to update the 1994 trade deal Lonzo Ball Lakers Jersey , at the request of the United States.
The United States considers Mexico is unfairly benefiting from the agreement in several areas, including by artificially keeping wages low, which attracts industry owners but lures jobs away from American and Canadian workers.
The United States also wants to amend rules of origin so that NAFTA goods that benefit from tariff exemptions include a higher percentage of components made in North America, another demand Mexico is resisting.
Recent statements by U.S. President Donald Trump, which suggest that his country withdraw from the deal Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Lakers Jersey , have made Mexico somewhat nervous, though officials view them as a negotiating tactic.
Concanaco, which represents chambers of commerce, services and tourism, is particularly interested in the subject of e-commerce and its inclusion in an updated NAFTA.
On Tuesday Kyle Kuzma Lakers Jersey , the second round will move into high gear with the presence of lead negotiators, including Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, said Solana.
