Brazil secured their place in the last 16 of the Women's World Cup by edging out Spain in Montreal.
Andressa Alves scored the game's only goal, slotting in after Celia Jimenez had cleared her initial effort.
Spain had their chances, with Irene Paredes striking the post late on, but Brazil were not to be denied their second successive win.
World Cup debutants Costa Rica are in second place after salvaging a late 2-2 draw against South Korea.
