After some debate in both the Brazilian and British press about whether Richarlison justified a start given his mixed start at Tottenham Hotspur, the forward answered his critics and put on the kind of performance which led Spurs to spend £60m to prise him from Everton.

His fabulous second goal lit up the Lusail Stadium, where Brazil will hope to return in three weeks’ time for the final. Based on their display against Serbia, they have a good chance of doing so.

Switzerland has been defensively solid since manager Murat Yakin took over and played a back four. Still, his predecessor Vladimir Petkovic’s run of five-at-the-back was even more impressive.

The new manager, the same efficiency, but a different system under Murat Yakin now sees Switzerland play with a back four instead of Vladimir Petkovic’s preferred system of five-at-the-back.

Yakin will have been delighted with the win and a clean sheet, as it was only the second time in their last ten fixtures that they have managed to shut out the opposition, but many of those games did come against top quality opposition in the Nations League.

Brazil vs. Switzerland Head to head

There were no major surprises in Yakin’s selection overall, with the duo of Nico Elvedi and Manuel Akanji preferred over the Newcastle United man. Denis Zakaria was not even brought off the bench, given he has had a difficult year with both Juventus and Chelsea.
