Switzerland came back from a goal down to salvage a well-earned point against Brazil in their first match of the World Cup as the five-time champions gave an underwhelming performance at the Rostov Arena.
Anticipation was at fever pitch ahead of the second match of Group E, with Brazil earmarked as one of the clear favourites to go all the way in Russia this summer. Ultimately, however, the Selecao delivered an enigmatic and frustrating performance in which few concrete chances ever materialised after Philippe Coutinho's stunning opening goal.
A lively opening few minutes saw the Swiss have a fair share of the possession, but Brazil's influence on the game grew rapidly as the players began to find their rhythm on the pitch.
