Thank you!
Thank you for joining us for the last World Cup match of the weekend!
90'
Comments
While Neymar played well, he also seemed to hold on to the ball for too long at times, slowling down Brazil's attacks. Switzerland were patient in their approach and snatched a controversial goal off a corner. After the Swiss scored, they seemed to be in control during the entire second half, hardly letting Brazil build up their play in the way that they would've liked.
90'
Final analysis
Another great game in this tournament! The Swiss did not give up after conceding the wonder-goal to Coutinho, and they're rewarded with a point against the toughest rival in their group. Brazil will want to forget about this game and move on to the next one, hoping they can still finish first in their group.

Second half on the way
The teams are re-entering the pitch, and it's the Swiss who will have to take the game to Brazil if they want to get anything from this match.
45'
Half Time Analysis
The Swiss succumbed to Brazil's fast start and the goal was definitely on the cards after the many attempts that Brazil were able to create in the first 20 minutes. After the goal though, the Swiss seemed to find their feet and grow into the match, creating a couple of opportunities for themselves.
45'
Brazil lead at the half
At the half, it's the Brazilians that lead after a spectacular effort from Coutinho. The Brazilians are performing in the same way that they have during the qualifiers for this cup. If they keep up this form, they will be a tough team for anyone in the world to stop.
45'
Last action
In the last action of the half, the Swiss swing a free kick into the back post which is headed by Schar. The header is easily caught by Alisson though, and the referee blows the halftime whistle soon thereafter.

Chance!

41'
Close!
After playing out from the back, Brazil find Paulinho in the middle of the pitch, and the Barcelona man delivers Gabriel Jesus a great through ball. Jesus is unable to properly control it though, and is muscled off the ball before he can shoot.
38'
That one hurts
A shot from Zuber is hit poorly and hits Thiago Silva in the face before going out for a throw-in.
34'
Brazil confident
Brazil are incredibly confident when they're on the ball, as there's always an option for the pass open.
33'
Header!

Goal
Philippe Coutinho (Brazil)
17'
The Coutinho Special!
As soon as he started winding up, we knew where that ball was going to end up! The ball falls to Coutinho in his preferred spot on the left side of the box, and the Barcelona forward unleashes a power shot that Sommer has no chance with. An incredible strike for Coutinho, and exactly what the Brazilians needed to truly assert their authority in this match.
17'
GOAL FOR BRAZIL!
WHAT A GOAL!
16'
Brazilian Pressure
Switzerland have done well to this point to hold off the Brazilian effort, but we'll see how much longer this can last – the longer Brazil have had the ball, the more dangerous their attacks have become.
16'

Neymar and Marcelo stand over the ball. It's Neymar who takes it, but the free kick ends up hitting the wall.
15'
Foul against Behrami
Valon Behrami brings down Neymar about 10 meters from the top of the box.
13'
Cross too strong
Some good play in the midfield leads to Gabriel receiving the ball again on the left side of the Swiss box. Standing up his defender, he eventually puts in a cross that's just too far for Willian.
11'
Chance!
After good play from Coutinho, the ball falls to Neymar on the left side of the Swiss box, who puts in a first-time cross. It's poorly cleared and the ball finds Paulinho in the box, but his shot is scuffed and just wide of the far post.
8'
Brazil playing for the win
Brazil have lost their last two games in the World Cup – the historic loss against Germany followed by the Third Place match against the Netherlands. They'll be doing everything they can to prevent that streak from becoming three in a row.
6'
Good effort by the Brazilians
Neymar is brought down in the middle of the pitch but the referee decides to play the advantage. Jesus picks up the ball and plays it to Willian, who cuts to his right and lets loose a powerful cross that finds no one.
3'
First Chance!
The first chance is for the men in red! Shaqiri puts in a cross which is met by Dzemaili, who is alone in the box. The forward tries an acrobat effort but it ends up off-target.
3'

Kickoff!
Brazil start us off in the match!
0'
Switzerland's Plan
Switzerland know they have a large task on their hands - this Brazilian team reached the semi-finals of the last Cup and have only seemed to improve with Tite in charge. The Swiss will try their best to not let Brazil completely dominate the match.
0'
National Anthems
The teams are on the pitch as the national anthems for both nations sound. This game promises to be a good one, as Brazil will most definitely be looking to get all 3 points.
