Brazil 1 - 0 Switzerland
Brazil struggled against a resolute Switzerland defence in the absence of Neymar but an 83rd-minute goal from Casemiro was enough for Seleção to advance to the knockouts, the second team after France to do so in the current World Cup.
A Vinicius Jr goal in the second half was disallowed for offside.
Brazil has not lost in the group stages since Norway beat them in 1998 in France. The win extended Brazil's unbeaten run in the group stage to 17 matches.
Switzerland remains second in Group G and needs a win in their finale against Serbia to keep its hopes alive for a place in the last 16. A draw may be enough provided Cameroon doesn't upset Brazil in their final match.
The match was briefly interrupted when the lights dimmed at Stadium 974 for a few seconds before halftime, halting a Brazil corner.
