At the Lusail Iconic stadium, Brazil started winning 2-0 in their debut at the World Cup in Qatar. Richarlison shone with his double (17′ 2T and 27′ 2T) and became the figure of the day. The Tottenham striker reached nine cries in six appearances with the Verdeamarela in all the competitions that the team has played this year.
The great concern of the Tite team is Neymar, who will miss the remainder of the group stage. The PSG forward was the one who received the most fouls in the match (9) and retired injured at minute 79 of the duel against the Serbs.
The five-time world champion has not lost in his last 20 World Cup debuts (17 wins and 3 draws). He was only beaten in his first two FIFA World Cup starts: 1-2 vs. Yugoslavia in Uruguay 1930 and 1-3 vs. Spain in Italy 1934.
For its part, Switzerland debuted in Qatar 2022 with a 1-0 win over Cameroon. Two minutes into the second half, Breel Embolo, star of the match, sealed the victory at the Al Janoub Stadium in Switzerland. The Monaco FC striker did not celebrate his goal because he was born in the African country.
They barely had more possession than the African Lions (52% vs. 48%). The Swiss tried the bow eight times, just two shots more than their rival.
Switzerland’s last victory against Brazil was 1-0, in a friendly played in August 2013. While the Brazilians beat the Swiss in November 2006 2-1.
With this duel, they will reach 10 clashes in the general history. They played nine times with 3 Brazilian wins (11 goals), 2 Swiss (9 goals) and 4 draws. In addition to the two matches in the FIFA World Cups Brazil 1950 (2-2) and Russia 2018 (1-1), they met 7 times in international friendlies.
Iván Barton Cisneros is the designated referee to control the match.
