A NET POSITION IN THE FIRST HALF

Brazil was the team that was close to the goal in the first half of the game, which was quite agile and sterile in terms of position. During the 27th minute of the game, Vinicius Junior, who was forgotten at the far post in the middle of Raphinha’s right diagonal sent into the penalty area, rebounded with his knee on his volley shot, and goalkeeper Yann Sommer flicked the ball into the corner.

Apart from this position, there was no serious attacking attempt in the first half.

THE BALL THAT WENT TO THE NETS CAME BACK FROM THERE

In the second half, the tempo of the fight increased and both teams created danger with mutual attacks. Before an intermediate pass from Carlos Casemiro in the 64th minute, Vinicius Junior quickly entered the penalty area from the left diagonal and put the ball into the net from the corner with an elegant placement. After the VAR review, the ball that entered the net was invalid because Richarlison was offside at the start of the position.

CASEMIRO BRINGS THE TOUR

In the last part of the game came the goal that put Brazil ahead. In the 83rd minute, Vinicius Junior made a pass to Rodrygo from the left wing in the penalty area. Rodrygo sent a single touch without waiting, and Casemiro finished off with a strong volley in the left diagonal of the penalty area and brought the ball to the net from the right corner.

With no other goal in the remaining minutes, Brazil defeated Switzerland 1-0 and guaranteed exit from the group.

Haris Seferovic, who plays for Galatasaray in Switzerland, came on for Breel Embolo in the 76th minute, but failed to turn the score around.
