Brazil, one of the favourites to lift the FIFA World Cup 2022, have booked their seat for the knockout rounds of the tournament with their second group win. The game was heading for a 0-0 stalemate until Casemiro struck a powerful half-volley in the 83rd minute to snatch a 1-0 win over Switzerland at the Stadium 974. The first half was a bland stalemate with both the teams struggling to get going in the attack. Brazil did test Yann Sommer but Richarlison had been kept quiet as Switzerland defended with grit. Brazil coach Tite rang up a change as Lucas Paqueta came off for Rodrygo at the start of second half. Brazil thought they broke the deadlock through Vinicius Junior but the goal was ruled out because of Richarlison offside. In the 83rd minute, Rodrygo flicked the ball and after just one bounce, Casemiro smashes it into the far corner to give Brazil the lead and finally breaking the deadlock. Switzerland are still in pole position to qualify as they next up face Serbia and a win would ensure their qualification to the knockout stages.
