Brazil-Switzerland 1-0, Tite’s team qualify for the round of 16 with one round to spare. Casemiro decides in the final
Casemiro’s goal in the 83rd minute: the Manchester United midfielder’s shot from the top of the box was beaten by Sommer, and Brazil took the three points as they moved into the round of 16 a round earlier. And waiting for Neymar, of course, is Tite’s team, which is now quietly confident that it will be able to recover as there will be one more game, after those in the round. Without the Psg player, however, it is a Brazil not predictable but almost. The South American team created – even cancelling out a goal by Vinicius due to an offside by Richarlison – but not much more. Only in the second half did it have a few more chances, when Switzerland obviously broke open to look for an equaliser that did not come at the end of six minutes of added time. Well, below the votes, the scoreboard and where to see the match pictures.
