Brazil VS Switzerland
Casemiro helps Brazil overcome Swiss challenge
Carlos Casemiro scored the only goal for Brazil as the South American giants beat Switzerland in their second match of the FIFA World Cup on Sunday night and secured their place in the tournament’s Round of 16 with two wins from two games.
Following the match played at Doha’s Stadium 974, Brazil are now top of the points table in Group G with six points from two matches. Switzerland are right behind them with three points, while Serbia and Cameroon have a point each after their thrilling 3-3 draw earlier in the day.
Brazil headed to this match without their main star Neymar who sustained a blow to his ankle in their World Cup opener. Tite’s men felt the absence of Neymar throughout the match.
It was assumed that a Brazil team without Neymar would not win a match easily against an opponent like Switzerland.

Vinicius Jr won a free kick early in the match. He was running unopposed down the left flank. All of a sudden, he was stopped by only a Swiss foul. Richarlison, the hero of Brazil’s first win, took the free kick that passed over everyone.
Legendary Brazilian striker RonaldoI, as well as Cafu and Roberto Carlos, the best-ever fullback pairing for the Selecao, all of them World Cup winners in 2002, were seen in the gallery of the 974 stadium. That might have inspired Brazilian supporters to come in full voice in the gallery. The Swiss supporters were outnumbered in this match in the venue.
Richarlison ran well behind the Swiss defense. In the 14th minute of the match, Paqueta fed him with an outside of the boot flick, but Richarlison failed to reach Vinicius Jr in the middle. It was a really lovely piece of play from the men of Tite.
After a few minutes into the game, Switzerland had a good platform in the center of the pitch after a foul by Casemiro. They took a free kick that was not strong enough to reach Brazil’s net. Switzerland were a bit wasteful whenever they reached Brazil’s half.
Brazil were slightly better than Switzerland in the first half of the game. But the Swiss also grew into the game.
Coming into the second half of the match, Brazil got brighter and they kept attacking relentlessly.

In the 66th minute, Vinicius Jr looked like he put Brazil in front with a neat finish, but his strike was ruled out for an offside in the build-up. Brazil did not stop there. They eventually scored in the 83rd minute when the ball fell to Casemiro inside the box and the midfielder lashed home an audacious first-time finish with the outside of his boot.
The Casemiro goal came as a sigh of relief for the Brazilians as they managed to get over the line in this game against Switzerland, leaving nothing to chance in their remaining group game, for which Neymar will again be missing. The Paris Saint Germain star is expected to be fighting to be fit for the knockout phase games.

Qatar World Cup 2022 Day 9: Neymar-less Brazil to face Switzerland, Ronaldo’s Portugal to take on Uruguay
The second round of the Qatar 2022 tournament's group stage will end today. Four group-phase matches from Groups G and H will take place today. Two of the favourites of the tournament, Brazil and Portugal, have matches today, and both sides can ensure their place in the Round of 16. Let’s take a look at the group-phase matches that are all set to take place on Day 9 of the Qatar World Cup 2022.
Group G
Cameroon vs Serbia and Brazil vs Switzerland are the two Group G matches that will be held today. The Cameroon-Serbia game will kick off at 4 p.m. (BST), and the Brazil-Switzerland match will kick off at 10 p.m. (BST).
Cameroon vs Serbia
For both Cameroon and Serbia, this fixture is massively important in their quest for Round 16. Cameroon opened their campaign with a 1-0 loss to Switzerland, while Serbia conceded a 2-0 defeat to Brazil. Neither of the teams can afford to lose the match, and even a draw may not be good enough as well.
Cameroon will face Brazil in their final fixture of the group phase on December 2. So, overcoming the hot favourites will be tough for them. The African Lions should target the Serbia match to get all three points. They will also expect Switzerland to lose against Brazil to make the final round even more intriguing.

Serbia also have the same equation in mind when facing Cameroon today. However, they will be in a more comfortable position to move on to the next round than Cameroon if Switzerland lose against Brazil today. In that case, Serbia will advance to the Round of 16 if they win their remaining fixtures.
Brazil vs Switzerland
Neymar will likely miss the remaining group-phase fixtures for Brazil due to an ankle injury. On the other hand, the Brazilian campaign should not be concerned about replacing Neymar in the remaining group stage clashes because they have plenty of world-class options to replace him. The Selecao will secure a place in the Round of 16 with a match in hand if they beat Switzerland today.
Switzerland are in second place in the points table with 3 points. The Swiss side will try to capitalize on the absence of Neymar and will be hoping to take a point from this contest. Therefore, they may play with a bit of a defensive mindset and counter-attack when they get an opportunity.
Group H
South Korea vs Ghana and Portugal vs Uruguay are the two Group H matches that will be held today. The Korea-Ghana match will kick off at 7 p.m. (BST), and the Portugal-Uruguay game will kick off at 1 a.m. Tuesday (BST).
South Korea vs Ghana

This Asia-Africa clash will be exciting to watch because both teams will be desperate for all three points.South Korea will have the advantage because of the Asian atmosphere, but Ghana will be equally up for the contest.
The Koreans are in second place with one point after drawing with Uruguay in their first match.On the other hand, Ghana lost an interesting battle against Portugal 3-2 in their first match.
This is probably the most open group as all four teams can sense that they have a genuine chance to qualify. But after today’s match, the scenario for the group could change completely. Ghana can’t afford to lose the match against South Korea. On the other hand, Korea Republic will be aiming to take the top spot by beating Ghana today.
Portugal vs Uruguay
Cristiano Ronaldo made headlines after becoming the first player in World Cup history to score in five different tournaments in Portugal's first match against Uruguay. He will once again be the center of all attention in this contest. Portugal will advance to the Round of 16 if they beat Uruguay today and leave it to the other four teams to fight for second place.
Uruguay didn’t show enough intensity against the Korean Republic and eventually settled for a draw. Luis Suarez and co. should have the hunger and intention to play with aggression against the Portuguese side. Uruguay may well lose this fixture if they fail to control the midfield.

Aftermath
Despite the absence of superstar Neymar, Brazil vs Switzerland will be the main attraction on Day 9 of the FIFA World Cup 2022. The clash between Portugal and Uruguay would attract football fans as well. The outcome of today's fixtures may change the overall scenario in Groups G and H.

World Cup 2022: Brazil take on Switzerland without Neymar
There’s no Neymar facing Switzerland at the World Cup on Monday.
Just Richarlison. And Vinicius Junior. And Raphinha. And Rodrygo. And all the rest of the star-laden options in a deep and talented Brazilian squad lacking its most famous player.
“Each and every one is super skilled, even the center backs and goalkeeper,” Switzerland coach Murat Yakin said Sunday, describing the Brazil players. “They are here to get the title. That’s almost a must for them.”
Neymar’s ankle injury, suffered in a 2-0 win over hard-tackling Serbia on Thursday, is likely to keep the Brazil No. 10 out of action for the rest of the Group G games.
The spotlight was already shining brightly on No. 9 Richarlison after a stellar, scissor-kick shot for his second goal against the Serbs.
Yakin certainly appreciated what was perhaps the standout individual moment of the first week in Qatar.
“Absolutely, that’s why we love football, why we watch it, to see such goals,” he said in comments translated from German.
ADVERTISEMENTBrazil coach Tite spoke of the different routes to goal his team has without Neymar.
“Maybe we’ll see a feint or dribble from Vini, maybe we’ll see creativity when finishing a play from Richarlison or a header from Pedro,” he said.
“This will come up because they have that creativity,” Tite said. “It’s impressive how calm they can be to do things even under all this pressure.”
Still, Switzerland knew how to stop the Brazil attack when Neymar was playing at the 2018 World Cup, which the teams opened by playing to a 1-1 draw.
“They are very difficult to win against,” said Marquinhos, now a starter in central defense who watched the 2018 draw from the bench in Russia.
Some of Europe’s best teams have also found the Swiss a tough out in the past 18 months.
Switzerland beat Portugal and Spain in the Nations League this year. Last year, the Swiss eliminated world champion France in the European Championship and advanced to Qatar by finishing above Euro 2020 winner Italy in their World Cup qualifying group.
“We’ve been challenged by great teams and we’ve been able to score,” said forward Xherdan Shaqiri, who is playing in his fourth World Cup, a Swiss record. “If we score a goal I think we can completely change the game.”
Shaqiri laid on the pass for Breel Embolo to score the only goal in a 1-0 win against Cameroon that opened the group on Thursday. The Swiss did just enough to take the three points against its expected weakest opponent.
Top-ranked Brazil must make a second enforced change with Éder Militão or Dani Alves available to replace Danilo, who like Neymar was injured against Serbia.
Tite said he had decided on his lineup but would not share it ahead of Monday evening. Serbia faces Cameroon earlier in the day.
Switzerland will be without Noah Okafor, the Salzburg forward who has been a favored speedy option from the bench late in games.
