2022 World Cup Brazil 1-0 Switzerland: Casemiro breaks the Gordian knot

Thanks to Casemiro’s goal in the 83rd minute, Brazil beat Switzerland 1-0 and advanced to the seventh group of the World Cup. Tite’s team did two out of two and advanced to the playoffs of the tournament.

The Brazilians, who went out without Neymar, were unimaginably difficult because of the defense of Switzerland. Selesao scored 6 points and fulfills its obligations in the group against Cameroon. Murat Yakin’s team will play with Serbia.

The first good moment for Tite’s team was in the 12th minute. Richarlison turned the ball over, but Vinicius was cut off by the opponent’s defense.

The Brazilians had difficulty finding places and broke the multifaceted defense of Murat Yakin’s team. It is significant that usually the hosts made little threat in the first 20 minutes.

Selesao had another great moment in the 27th minute. The ball was received by Vinicius, but Sommer made a save. Shortly thereafter, the Swiss goalkeeper blocked Rafinha’s shot.

The Swiss entered the second half furiously. Usually, the hosts had a good moment in the 53rd minute, but Silva played Widmer’s pass.

In the 56th minute, Richarlison did not have time to get into the ball’s trajectory after Vinicius’ cross. In the 64th minute, a Real Madrid player scored from a beautiful vertical shot by Casemiro. The goal was disallowed after Richarlison was ruled offside at the start of the phase.

Tite’s team stepped up pressure on Sommer’s goal. Brazil were looking for a goal mainly from set pieces, as the Swiss defense was well organized.

Seleção took the lead thanks to a stunning strike from Casemiro in the 83rd minute after Rodrigo’s pass. In stoppage time, Vinicius passed to Rodrigo, but he hit Akanji.

Brazil (Tite): Alisson, Militao, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Alex Sandro, Paquette (Rodrigo 46), Casemiro, Fred (Bruno Guimarães 58), Rafinha (Anthony 72), Vinicius, Risarlison (Jesus 72).

Switzerland (Jaquin): Sommer, Widmer, Elvedi, Akanji, Rodriguez, Freuler, Xhaka, Shaw (Ebisser, 76), Vargas, Rieder, Ebolo (Seferovic, 76).
