HT Brazil 1 – 0 Switzerland: Coutinho’s stunner gives Brazil the lead

Brazil displaying good football, their pressure finally paid out in the 18th minute. WHAT A STRIKE!!! Coutinho does what he does best. The ball breaks to him outside the area on the left side. Needless to say ,the Barcelona medio curled home a sensational right-footer into the top corner.

Heading into today’s World Cup match, Brazil seems to be firing on all cylinders, as evidenced by a 1-0 victory in a friendly at Germany in March.

Switzerland barely squeaked into the tournament by beating Northern Ireland in a playoff. They are not copying with Brazil’s pressure.

An interesting half of football between Brazil. Tite’s men looked sharp in attack early on and got a deserved lead through Coutinho who scored a typical long-ranger. They have also defended well and Switzerland has not troubled Brazil much.

Maybe in the second half, they might produce something, but so far as it seems Brazil is poised for a cruise here. Waiting for the second half now.
