Casemiro, flash in the night
The Brazilian midfielder will remember this World Cup match against Switzerland for a long time. More used to playing in the shadow of men, the Manchester United player covered this match in 83.e minute. Taking advantage of a nice delivery from Rodrigo, he mounted a superb half-thousand recovery to deceive Sommer. A class gesture that liberated Brazil.
Vinicius wore down the Swiss defense
The Brazilian winger was undoubtedly the other big player in this game. Spinning, he gained momentum in this match, putting Switzerland’s Widmer in deep trouble, who had to give up his place by the end. The scorer of the best chance in the first act then saw his own goal disallowed at the heart of the second for Richarlison’s earlier exit (64).e). But he was the role player of the Brazilian goal, passing the decisive discount to Rodrigo.
Tite is a good coach
Seeing his team jump on their football, Tite made the right changes to wake them up. Disappointingly replacing Paquette quickly at half-time, he then brought more consistency to his midfield by bringing on Bruno Guimaraes. Finally on drums with Antony and Rodrigo. Paying for elections that have worn Switzerland well.
FLOPS:
Very disappointing Switzerland
After the victory against Cameroon (1-0), one could think that Switzerland will approach this match with ease. Only the Nats did not show anything good in this match. Preoccupied with defending above all else, he only suffered and was particularly clumsy when it came to countering and securing offensive transitions. Rough play and balls returned to the opponent, which eventually wore down the Swiss team, who did not send a single shot in this game.
Paqueta, much erased
In a Neymar-like position to support Richarlison, Lucas Paqueta was expected to lead Brazil’s game and give it life. Except that in the first period, former Lyon seemed to be lost on the field. Despite his best efforts, he was never able to combine properly with his partners and lost too many balls. At half-time, Tite also made a logical exit.
