Philippe Coutinho provided an assist as Brazil defeated Panama 2-0 in an international friendly on Monday.

The Liverpool midfielder's pull-back from the byline allowed Jonas to give Dunga's men the lead after just two minutes in Colorado.

And he went on to play 80 minutes of a comfortable victory that serves as the perfect warm-up for the start of the 2016 Copa America next month.

Coutinho will hope his contribution has earned him a place in the starting XI for his country's first game of the tournament - against Ecuador in Pasadena.
