Brazil 1-0 Switzerland LIVE! World Cup 2022 result, match stream and latest updates today

Brazil vs Switzerland LIVE!

Casemiro showed his misfiring strikers how to finish on Monday when he lashed in an unstoppable late shot to give Brazil a 1-0 win over Switzerland that sent them into the World Cup knockout stage with a game to spare.

A largely featureless game had been meandering towards a goalless draw when Casemiro struck seven minutes from time to take Brazil to six points at the top of Group G. The absence of injured striker Neymar had hung like a shadow over a shoddy Brazil, with only a disallowed goal by Vinicius Jr, chalked off for offside by VAR, bringing their huge support to life before the goal.

Brazil have six points, Switzerland three and Cameroon and Serbia, who drew 3-3 earlier on Monday, have one each - with all three teams still in the hunt to progress. Follow Brazil vs Switzerland LIVE via Standard Sport’s match blog!

Highlights

18:03 , Marc Mayo

Vinicius Jr thought he had the opening goal midway through the second half, only for Richarlison’s offside to call VAR into action.

This is a great photo of the goal celebrations

17:58 , Marc Mayo

Complete bedlam!

Brazil march on

17:56 , Marc Mayo

It will be the runner-up of Group H if Brazil can win their group.

Uruguay? Ghana? Maybe even Portugal...

FULL TIME! Brazil 1-0 Switzerland

17:53 , Marc Mayo

Brazil are through to the last-16 of the 2022 World Cup!

Casemiro’s late strike wins it after Switzerland made the Selecao toil in Doha.

17:52 , Marc Mayo

90+5 mins: Brazil starting to throw in some samba style, a backheel here, a rabona there.

They’re well on top as the clock ticks down.

CHANCE BRAZIL!

17:51 , Marc Mayo

90+4 mins: Vinicius Jr flicks in Rodrygo from a quick free-kick but Akanji is there with a fine block!

17:50 , Marc Mayo

90+2 mins: Switzerland have the ball but are yet to have a shot on target. Marquinhos cleas a cross from the left and Brazil break!

Akanji is all alone against two attackers and manages to stifle Vinicius Jr.

17:47 , Marc Mayo

90 mins: Six minutes added on.

17:46 , Marc Mayo

89 mins: Switzerland struggling to break out of their own half as Brazil press rampantly.

CHANCE BRAZIL!

17:44 , Marc Mayo

87 mins: Almost two! Rodrygo stings Sommer’s palms with a shot to the near post as Brazil’s fans raise the volume in Doha.

17:43 , Marc Mayo

86 mins: Changes for both teams, Telles on for Alex Sandro at left-back for Brazil.

Frei thrown on for Switzerland. Widmer off.

17:41 , Marc Mayo

85 mins: Brazil are only minutes away from booking their place in the last-16!

GGGGGOOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!! Brazil 1-0 Switzerland | Casemiro

17:40 , Marc Mayo

83 mins: HOW’S THAT FOR A FINISH!?

The ball bounces up for Casemiro who unleashes a fine half volley into the far corner!

17:39 , Marc Mayo

82 mins: Antony again a threat as he drifts in from the right wing but Casemiro struggles to control the pass and Brazil are lucky to win a corner.

It’s the Man United winger over it and the clearance is pinged back goalwards by Guimaraes’ header from 20 yards out. It has the power but lands straight down Sommer’s throat.

17:36 , Marc Mayo

79 mins: Antony is demanding a yellow card for Rodriguez sending him tumbling on the touchline.

Now, now, Antony that’s not for you to do and the referee refuses to oblige.

A free-kick nonetheless and Sommer catches a soft Militao flick.

17:34 , Marc Mayo

76 mins: Awful ball in by Rodrygo, far too overhit and straight into touch.

We’re looking at another 0-0, folks. It would be the sixth of the tournament and just one away from where the World Cup record lies.

Switzerland substitutions

17:33 , Marc Mayo

75 mins: Time for a Swiss refresh, Embolo and Sow replaced by Seferovic and Aebischer.

Brazil substitutions

17:30 , Marc Mayo

73 mins: Gabriel Jesus and Antony enter the fray. Richarlison and Raphinha come off.

17:28 , Marc Mayo

70 mins: A big test for both teams now, Brazil look hungrier rather than disheartened from that offside call. They need to play with the bit between their teeth.

Can Switzerland survive that? They’re on the ball now, looking to calm things down.

17:25 , Marc Mayo

67 mins: Richarlison was found to have been quite comfortably offside earlier in the build-up to the goal, with it the same phase of play and thus VAR rightly intervened.

We remain goalless!

GGGGOOOOOA-NO!

17:21 , Marc Mayo

64 mins: BRAZIL THINK THEY LEAD!

Vinicius Jr breaks in behind, dinks it home... but VAR wants a look.

OFFSIDE!

17:18 , Marc Mayo

61 mins: Dangerous from Switzerland!

Fernandes twice finds himself in a good central spot, just outside the D.

A first lay-off to Sow needs to go wider to Embolo, free in the box. A blocked shot eventually gets worked back to him, with another effort deflected clear.

Substitutions

17:15 , Marc Mayo

59 mins: Guimaraes replaces Fred for Brazil.

For Switzerland, Fernandes and Steffen come on in place of Rieder and Vargas.

CHANCE BRAZIL!

17:14 , Marc Mayo

57 mins: Oof!

Alisson is caught on the ball by Embolo but Brazil can still bring it forward, Vinicius toe-poking a delicious ball in across the face of the goal that Richarlison is only inches away from!

17:12 , Marc Mayo

55 mins: The Swiss come again and Vargas’ shot wins a corner.

Alisson opts to punch before Akanji loops the recycled ball in for the goalkeeper to catch.

CHANCE SWITZERLAND!

17:11 , Marc Mayo

54 mins: Widmer gallops down the right on a fine crossfield ball and slips in a nice cross for Rieder, which is well blocked before Sow’s piledriver meets some meaty resistance!

17:09 , Marc Mayo

52 mins: Ivan Barton has got a feel for his cards now and books Fred for dragging back a Swiss break.

This game has not changed a huge amount since the first half, which will suit the Europeans.

17:08 , Marc Mayo

50 mins: Rieder leaves an arm on Rodrygo in a bid to make his mark on the substitute and he takes the first booking of the game.

17:05 , Marc Mayo

47 mins: Rodrygo takes up position just off Richarlison, far more advanced than Paqueta was.

The Real Madrid youngster looks like he’ll press the Swiss defenders in possession, too.

Kick off!

17:02 , Marc Mayo

Brazil get the ball rolling and Rodrygo has been chosen to inject some more attacking impetus into the South Americans!

Paqueta is the man who makes way.

If Tite needs his bench...

16:59 , Marc Mayo

He has lots of options.

Bruno Guimaraes, Gabriel Jesus, Rodrygo Goes, Gabriel Martinelli, Antony, Everton and Pedro are all at Brazil’s disposal to shake up this game.

Stats check

16:56 , Marc Mayo

Brazil lead Switzerland six shots to one, with the Selecao boasting the only shot on target.

The possession is just titled Brazil’s way, 55 to 45 per cent, and they lead four corners to two.

No goals, though.

Malik Ouzia at Stadium 974

16:54 , Marc Mayo

Pretty similar to first half of the Serbia game, Brazil well in control without having created much.

Raphihna much better than the other night but Vinicius quiet. Widmer and Akanji good for Swiss.

Not much to separate the sides

16:49 , Marc Mayo

Brazil lack that samba sparkle so far with their front three not clicking against a well-oiled Swiss system.

The Europeans have got into some good spots of their own but are yet to test Alisson.

Half time! Brazil 0-0 Switzerland

16:46 , Marc Mayo

The Selecao survive a late corner, flicked on by Akanji, and that is the break!

CHANCE BRAZIL!

16:44 , Marc Mayo

45 mins: Tite’s decision to start Fred in place of Neymar, reinforcing the midfield, may be highlighted for a lack of Brazilian magic thus far.

Casemiro even plays playmaker before Raphinha’s ball in wins a corner. Silva pops up from that cross to cause a bit of panic but Switzerland escape.

And the lights go out! Mercifully, only a momentary drop-off from the floodlights and Brazil eventually get the next corner in, which bounces around a bit but comings to nothing.

One minuted added on.

16:42 , Marc Mayo

42 mins: Safe to say we are rather drifting towards the half-time break.

Rodriguez gives up an attacking opportunity for the Swiss before Richarlison leads a Brazil counter, until he meets an expert slide tackle from Akanji.

CHANCE SWITZERLAND!

16:39 , Marc Mayo

40 mins: Smart play down the left and Vargas almost spins Silva in the six-yard box!

Alisson comes off his line to gather. A fright for Brazil.

16:38 , Marc Mayo

38 mins: A bit of a jolt for the fans in yellow as Raphinha goes short for a corner, eventually chipping in a ball that Sommer can snatch out of the sky.

16:36 , Marc Mayo

36 mins: If you’re a Swiss fan, you’re very happy indeed right now. Brazil have largely been stifled.

Ronaldo Nazario and Roberto Carlos draw a huge cheer as they’re shown on the big screen. They don’t look hugely entertained...

Malik Ouzia at Stadium 974

16:34 , Marc Mayo

Tite could have thrown Dani Alves in at right-back tonight but he’s gone with Eder Militao, who we see at centre-half more regularly for Real Madrid, and he’s been fully vindicated so far. Looks very comfortable.

16:31 , Marc Mayo

31 mins: We’ve not seen much from Raphinha at all and he gets going at full pelt, cutting in from the right wing.

A powerful shot is aimed straight at Sommer’s midriff from 30 yards. Comfortable save.

Malik Ouzia at Stadium 974

16:28 , Marc Mayo

Pretty similar to this point in the Serbia game so far from Brazil. They’ve had most of the ball, enjoyed some lovely little passages of play, but without creating anything clear-cut before that Vinicius chance.

CHANCE BRAZIL!

16:27 , Marc Mayo

27 mins: The referee is taking a liberal attitude to potential fouls and Vinicius Jr hits the deck before a pretty petulant reply is waved away.

The Real Madrid man then pops up at the far post to fire an effort that Sommer denies well!

16:25 , Marc Mayo

25 mins: Switzerland build out a spell of possession with Freuler meeting a very fine tackle as he gets into the box.

16:21 , Marc Mayo

21 mins: Now it’s Switzerland’s turn to end a smart move with a cross that goes unment.

Vargas darts out into the right channel and his ball in is decent, but Embolo is well off the pace for catching up with it.

CHANCE BRAZIL!

16:19 , Marc Mayo

19 mins: That’s more like it! Paqueta again the threat and Richarlison is inches away from connecting with his fine low cross into the six-yard box.

16:19 , Marc Mayo

18 mins: Very even in possession stakes so far, with only nine per cent of the ball “in contest”, according to this World Cup’s fancy new statistic.

We’re also averaging a foul every two-and-a-half minutes. Which may explain the lack of chances.

16:15 , Marc Mayo

15 mins: Casemiro fells Embolo and Xhaka sneakily tries to drop the free-kick back about 10 yards for an easier position!

The referee is having none of it and Switzerland go short, and fail to make anything of it.

Ivan Barton from El Salvador is today’s man in the middle.

16:12 , Marc Mayo

12 mins: Indeed, it is Paqueta who spins a delicate through ball for Richarlison to run onto. His cutback is cleared with Vinicius Jr hovering.

Moments later, they’re in again as Fred slots Richarlison in behind... he bobbles his touch, though. Goal kick.

Malik Ouzia at Stadium 974

16:12 , Marc Mayo

It'll be interesting to see how Lucas Paqueta gets on in that No10 role tonight.

I've watched him play there a lot for West Ham this season but the deeper role he took up against Serbia was probably the best performance I've seen from him, albeit surrounded by much better players.

16:11 , Marc Mayo

11 mins: Smart play by Brazil to beat the Swiss press but the ball into Richarlison doesn’t arrive. It looks like he was offside.

Switzerland nick it back and came forward before also failing to play the pass into the box, and Brazil eventually win a foul.

16:08 , Marc Mayo

8 mins: Switzerland, as the saying goes, are no mugs.

Good signs early on that we will get an actual match tonight with Brazil unable to control possession.

16:05 , Marc Mayo

5 mins: A three-step central midfielder for Brazil will have plenty of fluidity with Casemiro the deepest, behind Fred and then Paqueta off the striker.

Switzerland are in a 4-3-3 and almost make hay on a sloppy pass out from Alisson. Brazil get it clear.

16:03 , Marc Mayo

3 mins: A good start from Vinicius as a tricky run wins a foul for the first ball into the box of the evening.

Raphinha swings it in... Richarlison glances it onwards but it beats the crowd!

16:02 , Marc Mayo

2 mins: No fretting for Brazil on the ball, a long diagonal pumped towards Vinicius Jr is chested down nicely but Widmer is on him to clear.

Kick-off!

16:00 , Marc Mayo

It’s Brazil. It’s the World Cup.

This one needs little introduction!

Switzerland get the ball rolling...

National anthem time

15:56 , Marc Mayo

Tite stares nobly to the sky as Brazil’s anthem is played out as Casemiro goes for the eyes-closed-giving-it-all technique.

A huge cheer for its conclusion. The Selecao are very, very well backed in Doha.

Here come the players!

15:53 , Marc Mayo

The evening is setting in down by the docks in Doha and this atmosphere is HYPED!

All eyes on Brazil’s Tottenham striker

15:50 , Marc Mayo

Richarlison has nine goals in his last seven outings for Brazil, a stunning run which kickstarted after Copa America final heartache against Argentina last year.

Before that, he had one in eight.

What can the Spurs man produce tonight?

Countdown to kick-off

15:45 , Marc Mayo

Not long now until the players emerge from the tunnel!

Stadium 974 is a sea of yellow with kick-off in 15 minutes...

Murat Yakin believes in an upset

15:42 , Marc Mayo

This World Cup group stage has seen no shortage of shocks and Switzerland manager Murat Yakin spoke confidently of his side’s chances in yesterday’s press conference.

Watch below:

Malik Ouzia is in position at Stadium 974 to preview tonight’s match.

Stick around for more expert analysis from Malik in Doha, with Marc Mayo on the play-by-play calls for today’s live blog.

Warm-ups underway!

15:33 , Marc Mayo

Kick-off comes in under half an hour at Stadium 974.

Premier League stars in abundance

15:29 , Marc Mayo

Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka goes up against club teammate Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli today, although the Brazil duo are on the bench.

Alisson of Liverpool will be protected by Chelsea’s Thiago Silva and the Manchester United duo of Fred and Casemiro.

Tottenham’s Richarlison leads the Brazil frontline, ahead of West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta.

The competition for the World Cup’s maddest-looking fan takes another twist

15:23 , Marc Mayo

Fair play, though.

Earlier on in Group G

15:17 , Marc Mayo

Cameroon and Serbia played out a thrilling 3-3 draw on what has so far been a mega day of World Cup action.

The Lions fought back from two goals down having scored the opener and lost the lead.

That result means either Brazil or Switzerland will qualify for the last-16 with a win.

In Group H, Ghana held out a late South Korea barrage to wn 3-2 at Education City Stadium.

Casemiro: Brazil sometimes feel sorry for rivals

15:12 , Marc Mayo

No Neymar, no problem.

That was the message from Casemiro on the weekend before facing Switzerland without Brazil’s talisman.

He said: “We have other players that have been performing in the same level like Vinicius Jr, Raphinha, Richarlison, Gabriel Jesus.

“Those of us who play at the back often joke we feel sorry for our rivals because we can replace Raphinha for Antony, Richarlison for Gabriel Jesus. We have Rodrygo, Gabriel Martinelli...

“We have a wide array of options. It's great for us. But it does not change that Neymar is our best player.”

A rocking atmosphere on the Brazil bus

15:07 , Marc Mayo

The South Americans are getting pumped up in true samba style!

One change for Switzerland

15:02 , Marc Mayo

No Xherdan Shaqiri in the Switzerland line-up due to a thigh complaint.

Young Boys’ starlet Fabian Rieder steps into the midfield.

Fred picked to replace Neymar

14:57 , Marc Mayo

A conservative move by Tite as Fred comes in to anchor the midfield alongside Casemiro.

That means Lucas Paqueta will step into attacking midifeld to support Raphinha, Richarlison and Vinicius Jr in attack.

Eder Militao repalces the injured Danilo in defence.

Today’s Swiss line-up

14:49 , Marc Mayo

Switzerland XI: Sommer; Widmer, Akanji, Elvedi, Rodriguez; Freuler, Xhaka, Rieder, Sow; Embolo, Vargas.

How Brazil line up

14:46 , Marc Mayo

Brazil XI: Alisson; Militao, Silva, Marquinhos, Alex Sandro; Casemiro, Fred, Paqueta; Vinicius Jr., Raphinha, Richarlison.

A thrilling day already in the World Cup

14:44 , Marc Mayo

Over in Group H, South Korea are losing 3-2 to Ghana with under ten minutes left in that one.

Some serious skills from the Brazilian mascot

14:39 , Marc Mayo

Of course Canarinho can do keepy-uppies. Obviously.

Swiss boss not complacent

14:33 , Marc Mayo

Murat Yakin has warned Switzerland that a Neymar-less Brazil is still a big threat for them in Doha.

He told reporters: “If you are playing against a team who are missing a world-class talent and their best player, it must pain us all in our football hearts. You want to play against the best when you come to the World Cup.

“But Brazil have excellent players and enough talent to construct three great teams. We must be ready to face an outstanding team - but we are also ready to show our own game against opponents who are one of the strongest in the tournament.

“To do that, we must focus on our own qualities and skills.”

Neymar absence won’t kill us, says Marquinhos

14:28 , Marc Mayo

Brazil are without Neymar today and Marquinhos has allayed fears that the South Americans will collapse as a result.

“[We are] 100 per cent confident," he said.

“We wish we could have Neymar playing with us, we would love to have 26 players fully available, but we are ready and confident we will be able to show our group is strong, well trained, and ready for any difficulties we might face.

“We must be wise enough to see everybody has an important role to play, the importance of the ones who were not starting and came in.

“I believe taking into account this talent, we'll be able to keep this level.”

Team news out soon!

14:23 , Marc Mayo

We’re expecting the teams to be released soon as the 4pm kick-off approaches.

Match odds

14:17 , Marc Mayo

Brazil to win: 40/85

Draw: 10/3

Switzerland to win: 13/2

Head-to-head record

14:13 , Marc Mayo

These two teams drew in the 2018 group stage and Brazil have won only one of their last four meetings.

Brazil wins: 3

Draws: 4

Switzerland wins: 2

Evening Standard score prediction

14:07 , Marc Mayo

Though Brazil struggled at times against Serbia, perhaps not having such a fixed point of attack in Neymar will help loosen things up, causing a well-organised Swiss side more problems.

Brazil to win, 3-1.

14:01 , Marc Mayo

Predicted Switzerland XI: Sommer; Widmer, Akanji, Elvedi, Rodriguez; Freuler, Xhaka, Sow; Shaqiri, Embolo, Vargas.

Early Switzerland team news

13:56 , Marc Mayo

No fresh injury worries could mean an unchanged line-up for the Swiss.

Murat Yakin left Fabian Schar and Denis Zakaria on the bench for the win over Cameroon.

13:50 , Marc Mayo

Predicted Brazil XI: Alisson; Alves, Silva, Marquinhos, Sandro; Casemiro, Fred; Raphinha, Paqueta; Vinicius Jr; Richarlison

Early Brazil team news

13:45 , Marc Mayo

Neymar is the big absentee for Brazil today after suffering an ankle injury in the win over Serbia. He may not return until during the knockout rounds, if they make it that far.

Danilo also misses out with Dani Alves likely for a runout at right-back.
