The two World Cup games between Brazil and Switzerland, prior to this match, ended in draws but the five-time champions were 'third time lucky' as they recorded a 1-0 win thanks to Casemiro's late goal.
Brazil got at least a couple of realistic chances in the scoreless first half to go in front but the five-time champions couldn't break through. Vinicius Jr. almost made it 1-0 half an hour into the game but a weak shot from the Real Madrid winger was saved by Yann Sommer.
Richarlison, the hero of Brazil's first match, got a few chances as well but failed to replicate his form from the previous match.
Vinicius' tendency to be offside was once again seen. He was the one to net the ball first in the match in the 64th minute but the goal was disallowed by VAR.
Brazil were late to turn up again as Casemiro opened the scoring with a brilliant volley in the 83rd minute.
