The game which ended 0-0 before the break despite fireworks from both side picked up when Vinicius received a pass from Casemiro and slotted the ball beyond Sommer and into the bottom corner, the goal was initially given before the referee signalled offside in the 66th minute.

Both teams did put up a great show but in the end Brazil had the day.

The Swiss on the other hand will do all the they can to get a victory as they face Serbia who drew 3-3 with Cameroon.
