It was a game of two halves as Brazil opened up their World Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw against Switzerland.
Paulinho - 5.5
The first clear-cut chance of the match fell to the Barcelona midfielder as Neymar pulled it back, but Paulinho's snapshot trickled inches past the post. Subbed off for Renato Augusto to add some firepower for the winner.
Casemiro - 4.5
A few hospital passes leading to some frustration and eventually a yellow card for the Real Madrid midfielder. Subbed off for Fernandinho in an attempt to cement a hold on the match and grab a winner.
Phillipe Coutinho - 7
With two touches he had opened up acres of space through the middle to feed Jesus and the rest of the front line. An absolute peach of a finish inside the post to open the scoring.
Willian - 5
Dangerous on the counter-attack and getting back to defend when the tide of the match shifted over to Switzerland. Hardly as active in the second half in attack and it was a rather disappointing game from the 29-year old.
Neymar Jr. - 6
Neymar had a frustrating first half, not being able to get into the spaces that he wanted to. It seemed Switzerland did their homework to try and outwit the world's most expensive player. Individually, Neymar wasn't spectacular either and wasn't penetrating like we know he can.
Gabriel Jesus - 4.5
Quick and persistent with the ball at his feet. Switzerland sat deep to prevent getting opened up by space in behind and Jesus' pace. As a result the striker had little impact on the match.
Substitutes
Fernandinho - 5
Had no answers to Switzerland's watertight, compact midfield in the second half.
Renato Augusto - 5
Tite subbed off two midfielders to create some more chances when the scores were tied at 1-1.
Roberto Firmino - N/A
Jesus struggled and Firmino was brought in with a bit more experience for Brazil.
