Italian Soccer Serie A
54% Ball Possession BRAZIL and 46% Ball Possession SWITZERLAND
Brazil 1 – 0 Switzerland 
83′ Casemiro
🏆👉 Brazil win the FIFA World Cup Group G defeating Switzerland on Monday 28 November 2022 at the Ras Abu Aboud Stadium (Stadium 974) in Doha, Qatar. Brazil are following up on the good victory of the opening match, against Serbia. This victory means access to the Round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup. Switzerland also comes from the success in the debut match, against Cameroon. Yet, they remain with 3 points. Brazil remain unbeaten in 17 matches in the World Cup group stage – no team has ever avoided defeat in 17 consecutive games at this stage.
I must admit the match didn’t see a total dominion and Brazil struggled. However, in the last 10 minutes of the game, Casemiro kicked a spectacular shot out of the hat for goalkeeper Sommer, who decided the match.

0 – #Brazil 🇧🇷 have become in just the second nation to not face a single shot on target in their first two #WorldCup games in a single edition after France in 1998 (2 games) since 1966. Unbreakable. pic.twitter.com/wPpJWlmedh

Stats before the game. The previous two matches between Brazil and Switzerland at the World Cup ended in draws (2-2 in 1950 and 1-1 in 2018). Brazil have not faced other national teams more often without ever winning respect against Switzerland (also twice against Portugal and Hungary). Switzerland have won two of their last four meetings against Brazil in all competitions (D1 L1), having never achieved success on their first five occasions (D3 L2). Switzerland have scored exactly one goal in all of their last six games against Brazil. Switzerland have won just one of their eight World Cup meetings against teams from South America (D2 L5), 2-1 against Ecuador in 2014 in Brazil. After a 1-0 draw against Cameroon on matchday one, Switzerland could win their first two games at a World Cup for the first time. Switzerland last won back-to-back competitions in 2006 against Togo and South Korea. Brazil could win back-to-back World Cup matches against European selections for the first time since their six-game streak between 2002 and 2006, following a 2-0 win against Serbia in their opening game. 16 of Brazil’s 18 total World Cup losses have been against European sides.
🏆👉 Lineup BRAZIL (4-2-3-1): Alisson; E. Militao, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Alex Sandro; Fred, Casemiro; Raphinha, Paqueta, Vinicius Jr; Richarlison.
🏆👉 Lineup SWITZERLAND (4-3-2-1): Sommer; Widmer, Elvedi, Akanji, Rodriguez; Freuler, Xhaka, Rieder; Sow, Vargas; Embolo.
Caught on the sweet spot 🤩 A strike worthy of winning any match!
