Switzerland gave a good fight in their second group game against Brazil but unfortunately Casemiro’s glorious 83rd?minute half?volley, dispatched with the outside of his right foot, propelled the pre?tournament favourites into the knockout stages leaving the Swiss to with a must win game against Serbia.
Switzerland coach Murat Yakin has nothing but praise for his team who should resilience despite failing to monster a shot on target in all of their six attempts.
“I can't really blame the team, they did a good job today, and had good control over a very good Brazil team for some time." Coach Yakin told reporters.
"We lacked courage in attack to a certain extent. Congratulations to Brazil, but with a little more luck we could have done more.”
A win in their game against Serbia would guarantee progress while a draw would also be enough unless Cameroon pull off a shock win over Brazil, which would then mean goal difference would come into play.
