Brazil took the lead through a trademark Coutinho screamer

After champions Germany fluffed their lines earlier in the day, all eyes were on Brazil when they took on Switzerland on Sunday evening. They didn't let the pressure get to them, and they took the lead midway through the first half.

After a series of chances, Tite's side found the breakthrough in the 20th minute, and Philippe Coutinho was the man to find the net. 

The ball fell to the Barcelona forward after Marcelo's cross was cleared, and the Samba star scored a goal that fans have seen him score time and time again. 

Picking it up on the left corner of the box, he took a touch and curled a wonderful finish into the top corner at the far post, firing in a shot that the goalkeeper was helpless to stop.
