Until Casemiro scored a decisive half-volley in the 83rd minute to save Brazil’s 1-0 victory over Switzerland at the Stadium 974, the game was headed for a scoreless draw. Both sides had trouble starting their attacks in the first half, which resulted in a dull stalemate.
Brazil did put Yann Sommer to the test, but Richarlison was kept quiet as tenacious Switzerland resisted. At the beginning of the second half, Lucas Paqueta was substituted for Rodrygo by Brazil coach Tite. Brazil thought they had opened the scoring through Vinicius Junior, but Richarlison’s offside rendered the goal invalid. After just one bounce, Casemiro smashed Rodrygo’s flicked ball into the far corner to give Brazil the lead and break the scoreless tie in the 83rd minute. Due to their upcoming match against Serbia, which a victory would guarantee, Switzerland is still in a strong position to advance to the knockout stages.Comment down below.
