The Brazilian national team became the first team in history to go unbeaten in 17 consecutive matches in the group stage of the World Cup, according to statistics portal Opta Sports.
The match with the Swiss team (1:0) was a record for Tite’s wards. The first half of the meeting ended under the advantage of the players of the Brazilian national team, who inflicted four blows on Jan Sommer’s goal, of which two were on target.
Switzerland, in turn, did not strike a single blow on the opponent’s goal but possessed the ball for 46% of the playing time. In the second half, Switzerland took advantage for a while, but in the 64th minute, they failed in the center of the field and missed a dangerous attack that ended with a Vinicius goal. But after checking the replay, the goal scored was canceled due to a fixed offside.
The Selesao players still managed to distinguish themselves only in the 83rd minute of the meeting, when, after a masterful combination of Casemiro, he managed to hit the gates of Jan Sommer with a beautiful blow from the Swede.
This goal became victorious for Brazil – 1:0. As a result of the match, Brazil scored 6 points and took first place in Group G, which guaranteed the team access to the playoffs of the tournament. Switzerland, with 3 points, remained in second place.
