Portugal and Brazil have also progressed mathematically hand in hand since the 2nd round of the groups after tight victories they scored, the first over Uruguay 2-0 and the second over Switzerland 1-0.

2nd place remains open in both groups, with the remaining six teams on the cusp of qualifying, some with a clear lead while others are chasing a miracle.

Without an injured Neymar, Brazil were dangerously flirting with a draw against Switzerland, one of the few teams in the world that had never beaten them, until Casemiro broke the Gordian knot with a superb strike in the 83rd minute. Switzerland closed the seleção in the first half, came under heavy pressure in the second half and resigned in the end as Vinicius’ goal was correctly dismissed for offside at the start of the half in the 64th minute. phase.

And while Brazil qualified in a tense manner, Serbia knocked out all the milk in three minutes, putting a 3-3 draw with Cameroon at great risk of qualifying.

Plavi returned to the scoreboard with a Castelletto goal in the 39th minute, they responded with two consecutive first-half delay goals by Pavlović and Milinković-Savic (second with an assist from Zivkovic), but where it looked like they were being refereeed 3-1 by Mitrovic in the 53rd minute, again with the help of PAOK’s ace, the “lions” answered with the same coin.

Thriller match Cameroon – Serbia and South Korea – Ghana – Central from today in the last round of groups.

With goals from Abubakar in the 63rd minute and Tsupo Modinga in the 66th minute they equalized 3-3, withstood the pressure, broke a streak of seven consecutive defeats in PK and they are going for a miracle against Brazil!

The first of the two matches of the 8th group was dramatic with disappointment and a large number of goals, with the difference that South Korea could not score anything on points, although they also drew 2:2 (58 ‘, 61′ Cho ), losing in the score 2:0 (24′ Salis, 34’ Kundu).

Ghana overcame the shock, took the lead again thanks to Kudo in the 69th minute and held on to a valuable victory despite the blows they received in the final half hour. The last attempts were 22-6 for South Korea, who again faced two Huangs from Olympiacos.

Portugal’s 2-0 victory over Uruguay doesn’t tell the whole truth. After a very poor first half, the pace picked up after a Bruno Fernandes goal in the 54th minute when the Uruguayans took the chance to equalize with Gomez’s crossbar in the 75th minute and two other big chances.

Bruno Fernandes from the penalty spot on 90’+4′ “fixed” the victory and would have scored a hat-trick if he had not hit the post on 90’+7′!
