Casemiro Scores World Cup Wondergoal To Send Brazil Through To Last 16 As Legends Watch On

Brazil beat Switzerland 1-0 on Monday night in front of a whole host of VIPs.

Kaka, Cafu, Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos were among the legends in the stands.

A Neymar lookalike was among the crowd too after the real deal had damaged the ligaments in his right ankle during last week's 2-0 win over Serbia.

Without Neymar on the pitch, Brazil struggled to break down a highly-defensive Switzerland side until Casemiro produced a moment of magic in the 83rd minute.

The Manchester United midfield nailed a sweet half-volley following a flick from Real Madrid forward Rodrygo.

It took a slight deflection on its way into the net but Casemiro's strike was still one that Carlos, Kaka or Ronaldo would have been proud of themselves.

Brazil's win saw them seal a place in the last 16 at Qatar 2022 with a game to spare.
