Ap. Doha’s five-time winner, Brazil, will want to win the second game in order to guarantee their place in the knockout rounds. On Monday at Stadium 974 in Doha, Brazil will play Switzerland in an attempt to pick up their second straight victory. After winning the first game 2-0 against Serbia, the team’s spirit has risen.
Switzerland also reached this stage after defeating Cameroon 1-0 in the opening game. Switzerland has won one and tied the other of its most recent two matches with Brazil. In such a scenario, Switzerland’s spirits won’t drop before to this game. Both of Brazil’s goals in the opening game were scored by Richarlison. Both times, Vinicius Junior stood by him.
The Brazilian team’s defense is their biggest vulnerability when they have strikers on the field. Although Serbia did not put much of a strain on the defense in the previous game, Switzerland will do so in this one. The Brazil squad may not have many choices in this position because star midfielders Neymar and Danilo are injured, but the team will not appear weak in any manner.
On the other side, Briel Embolo, the standout striker for Switzerland and the winner of the last game, has the potential to be deadly in this one as well. Serbia and Cameroon will play a game that is life or death. The second game between Cameroon and Serbia is a matter of life or death. Any team that loses the second match after losing the first match will be eliminated from the competition.
Both teams would like to not repeat their errors in such a scenario. Serbia is at the bottom of the standings after losing its opening game 2-0 against five-time champion Brazil. On the other side, Cameroon will be looking to capitalize on every opportunity following a spirited 1-0 loss to Switzerland. Both clubs will have the opportunity to advance in this game.
Samuel Eto’o, president of the Cameroon Football Federation, voiced hope for the squad to make it to the final this time following the team’s failure in the opening game. However, after the setback, the team’s future path appears questionable. The possibility of progressing will be destroyed if the team loses the second game.
After the first game, head coach Rigobert Song guaranteed the squad will do better in the subsequent games. The team, which is made up entirely of fresh players, lacks experience. Serbia appears to be powerful and knowledgeable in contrast. In the first half, he prevented a powerful side like Brazil from scoring.
“We showed a lot of respect for Brazil in the second half, which led to a 2-0 loss for us,” team manager Stevan Stojanovic stated. Aleksandar Mitrovic, the team’s leading scorer, missed the first game due to illness, according to coach Dragan Stojkovic. In the second game, the team will undergo several adjustments.
