FIFA World Cup 2022 | Casemiro stuns Switzerland 1-0, sends Brazil into last 16

The Hindu  

Doha’s Stadium 974 thrummed to the samba beat on Monday night as Brazilian fans brought Latin American swagger to this patch of Qatar and Casemiro fired Brazil into the knockout stages of the 2022 World Cup finals with a 1-0 victory over Switzerland. The midfielder’s spectacular 83rd minute goal sent Brazil through with a game to spare and lit a touch paper to a contest that up to then had struggled to smoulder. With Brazil increasingly desperate, half-time substitute Rodrygo played a first time ball to Casemiro who struck it with the outside of his foot and it glided – in time-honoured Brazilian fashion — past Yann Sommer in goal, the Swiss watching in horror as it bulged the side of the inside of his goal. While Rodrygo provided the assist, Casemiro and Brazil owe a huge debt of gratitude to Vinicius Jr for the goal — Brazil’s newest superstar had drawn three increasingly desperate defenders onto him which created space for the goal.
