- The scores were now equal. Brazil needed a tie-breaker to win, but they wasted most of their chances as Switzerland forced them to draw this match.
Brazil was treated unfairly throughout this game! I apologize to all Brazil fans, this game was a right mess. We’ve all just witnessed the worlds worst referee.
