Match Summary

Key Moments
- 64 Minutes of 2nd Half – Offside given against Brazil. The Brazilians are confident they’ve finally won this round. Casemiro baits the Swiss defense into a misstep, and Vinicius bursts through the opening with a dazzling through ball.
Although Vinicius timed his run well, the goal was disallowed because Richarlison, who didn’t touch the ball but was obviously participating in the action, returned from an offside position.
- 83 Minutes of the 2nd Half – Casemiro finally scores, assisted by Rodrygo. Casemiro sends the ball flying into the far corner on a half-volley after it takes one bounce in the box off of Vinicius’s inside pass and Rodrygo’s flick-on. What an outstanding finish at a crucial time. That seals the deal for Brazil.
