Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring in the 24th minutes and extended City's lead to one more goal within minutes of the second half.
Notably, Lionel Messi captained Argentina had been knocked out of the Copa America competition after they experienced a 2-0 defeat against rival team Brazil.
Brazil were reduced to 10 men in the 70th minute when Jesus was shown a second yellow card for catching Carlos Zambrano with an elbow as both were jostling for the ball.
Jesus and Firmino netted a goal apiece in each half to give Brazil a victory which ensured Lionel Messi's frustrating wait for a major international tournament title with Argentina continued.
The forward, who plays for English Premier League club Manchester City, said Brazil "has more pressure to win" than Argentina because they are playing at home.
Brazil will next play arch-rivals Argentina on Tuesday.
With two wins from two and a goal difference of +7, the defending champions are topping the Premier League table.
Is the 21-year-old striker a mumma's boy? Well, watch the video and make your own judgement.
The 21-year-old forward will remain at the Etihad Stadium till at least 2023 now.
