Welcome to Day 9 of the 2022 World Cup!!! We are in the second week of the group stage in Qatar and things are starting to take shape as we approach the knockout stage. Match day 9 showcases some favorites looking to secure an early spot in Round 16 and a few key games that could change everything before the final. Al Wakrah begins with an important matchup between Cameroon and Serbia, who lost in the first round of Group G. You’ll be competing for the place soon. This is a three-point knockout. Next up is the clash between South Korea and Ghana in Doha, with South Korea taking a big step towards the round of 16 if Portugal finds a way to beat an all-ignoring Ghana after scoring valuable points in their opener against Uruguay. You can step in. You can take it even after losing the first game, and you continue to hope that you will perform well in that game and survive in the group. Game 3 on Day 9 will see Brazil v Switzerland, with the two winners of Group G’s opener playing an important match in Doha. With both teams showing strength in their first wins and Brazil likely without an injured Neymar, this promises to be a close and intense clash, with Switzerland more than able to handle the excitement. . The final match between Portugal and Uruguay in Al Dayen is an important one, and Celeste will need to deliver in it to avoid a shock group stage exit for the tournament’s most talented side. Barça legend Luis Suárez is Uruguay’s hope of an upset and Portugal has shown they are vulnerable to Ghana. Highlights:- Brazil, a five-time champion, was handed a severe setback going into its second Group G match when the Selecao picked a team without Neymar for their match against Switzerland on Monday. At Stadium 974, the Selecao defeated Switzerland 1-0 after a scoreless first half. Manchester United’s Casemiro scored the game’s game-winning goal. The record-breaking champions joined France in the round of 16 of the Qatar World Cup after their exciting victory over Switzerland in the low-scoring contest. The Brazilian team is now only the second team in a single FIFA World Cup edition to go through two games without taking a single shot on goal. The defending champions France completed the same feat in the premier competition’s 1998 iteration. Brazil advanced to the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup thanks to a late Casemiro goal as Switzerland’s tenacious defence eventually gave way late in the second round of Group G games. Switzerland more than held their own and showed signs of openings, but they never truly produced a golden opportunity. Neither team found it simple to penetrate the other team’s backline. After the break, Brazil substituted Rodrygo, who quickly connected with Vinicius of Real Madrid, who sent in a gorgeous cross with the outside of his right foot that Richarlison just missed converting. When Rodrygo played in Vinicius down the left to avoid Nico Elvedi’s challenge and roll the ball past Sommer just past the hour, Brazil thought they had finally scored. But earlier in the same play phase, a thorough VAR check revealed Richarlison to be offside, and the attempt was chalked off.
