Casemiro scores for Brazil against Switzerland

Doha, November 28 (PL) - A late goal by Casemiro gave Brazil a 1-0 victory over Switzerland and the qualification of the Scratch to the 16th round of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

It was the 82nd minute of the match and the score was still goalless at the 974 Stadium.

At that precise moment, Casemiro slammed the ball into the back of the net to seal the match, causing the stands to erupt, packed with Brazilian fans in every corner.

The absence of injured Neymar Jr. significantly reduced the offensive capacity of the South American team, five-time world champions, but they managed to win the match in extremis.

Thus, Brazil added its second victory in the tournament and reached six points in Group G, while Switzerland was left with three points in second place.

Serbia and Cameroon, who hours earlier had played out a three-goal draw, close the standings with a point apiece.

Brazil thus guaranteed its presence in the round of 16, although it will have to wait until the last round of matches to find out whether it will go through as first or second place.
