VOV.VN - Unbeaten in all 4 of their matches, Brazil are through to the quarter-finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup and will meet a talented Belgium team at 1am on July 7 (Vietnam time).
Brazil have been unable to call on their strongest line-up for the 2018 World Cup as both Danilo and legendary right back Daniel Alves suffered injuries while playing for their club sides. Brazil’s coach Tite chose Corinthians’ Fagner to take over the right back slot. |
In the group stage, Brazil were in Group E with Switzerland, Serbia and Costa Rica. |
Brazil took 1 point after drawing their first match 1-1 against Switzerland. |
Philippe Coutinho and Neymar scored the goals as Brazil took a win over Costa Rica in their second match. |
After 2 matches, Brazil topped Group E with 4 points. |
Brazil had Paulinho and Thiago Silva to thank as they beat Serbia 2-0 in the final group game and secured their place in the last 16. |
Brazil finished as the winners of Group E with 7 points after 3 matches. |
In the last 16, Brazil faced a tough challenge in their match against Mexico. |
Brazil played well but were made to wait for victory, with two second half goals giving them a 2-0 win over Mexico thanks to great efforts from Neymar and Firmino. |
At 1am on July 7 (Vietnam time), Brazil will take to the pitch against Belgium. The teams have met each other four times at previous World Cups with Brazil recording a 100% win rate. However, Belgium’s golden generation of players might just be the team to stop that run. |
