Switzerland beat Serbia, Brazil shocked by Cameroon

Switzerland beat Serbia 3-2 in an incident-packed match on Friday to set up a last-16 meeting with Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal. Remo Freuler, Breel Emblo and Xherdan Shaqiri scored for Switzerland while Dusan Vlahovic and Aleksandar Mitrovic scored for Serbia. The Swiss finished second in Group G behind Brazil, whose much-changed side lost 1-0 against Cameroon but the South Americans still go through to play South Korea. Brazil lost a World Cup group stage match for the first time this century. After Norway beat them on June 23, 1998, that has not happened. Vincent Aboubakar’s brilliant header in the 90+3 minute for Cameroon was also the first time Brazil lost to an African team. Brazil dominated throughout the game but slipped at the final stages. Vincent Aboubakar scored the stoppage time winner for Cameroon as they became the first African team to beat Brazil. However, it was not enough for them to go through to the Round of 16.

Switzerland were in trouble quite a few times during the match against Serbia. They gave away an early advantage, but had the last laugh. Switzerland won the match 3-2 and advanced to the Round of 16 from Group G along with Brazil.
