Brazil 1-0 Switzerland: sweet strike from Man Utd’s Casemiro earned Brazil all three points
An otherwise drab encounter was brought to life seven minutes from time as Manchester United midfielder Casemiro fired a first-time effort into the far corner, leaving goalkeeper Yann Sommer standing.
Brazil backed up their opening victory over Serbia to top the group with maximum points and will guarantee the top spot with a point against Cameroon in their final game.
Tite's men thought they had broken the deadlock after the hour mark when Vinicius Jr kept his composure to coolly stroke in, but the goal was ruled out for offside by VAR.
Switzerland had sat compact for much of the game and did not offer any attacking threat, failing to get a shot on target in the contest.
Murat Yakin's side may have thought they would escape with a point, but Casemiro's moment of inspiration had Brazilian fans bouncing inside Stadium 974.
