“Kevin is a special player. Today was a game where we expected high pressing from Arsenal. When there’s high pressing, it’s long balls, second balls. We were...

Doha (Qatar), Nov 28 (Ians) Casemiro struck his first World Cup goal with seven minutes remaining in the match to break Switzerland resistance and book Brazil’s place in the Round of 16 here on Monday.
Brazil didn’t alight on any rhythm in a stuffy opening half, their only attempts coming from Vinicius Junior, whose scruffy contact in front of goal allowed Yann Sommer to save, and Raphinha, who struck a hard hit effort into Sommer’s midriff.
Richarlison, the two-goal hero against Serbia on Thursday, needed one shoe size bigger to connect with Vinicius Junior’s cute outside-of-the-boot cross 11 minutes after half-time. And there was more frustration for Brazil when it came to light Richarlison was offside in the build up to Vinicius Junior slotting beyond Sommer after 65 minutes.
Coach Tite’s team pressed for the goal to seal their progress, however, and Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo combined to feed...

Doha, Nov 25 (Ians) Breel Embolo scored the only goal to lift Switzerland past his country of birth Cameroon in their World Cup Group G opening match here late on Thursday. Embolo, who moved to Europe with his mother as a boy, scored in the 47th minute after receiving a low cross from captain Granit Xhaka.

Rigobert Song, the Cameroon coach who played at four World Cups, rued loss to the European side despite taking full control in the first half, reports Xinhua. “We were in control, we had many good opportunities, but we failed to convert them to goals. We missed the final touch.
