The last game of Group E leaves no surprises. As many have predicted, Brazil has qualified for the knockout stages with a group win, followed by Switzerland who finished second.

In the match at Moscow's Otkrytie Arena, Brazil ended Serbia's resistance with a score of 2-0. Two goals "Tim Samba" gave Paulinho in the 36th minute and Thiago Silva in the 68th minute.

In the last 16, five World Cup champions were already expected by the second group of Group F, Mexico. Both teams will compete on Monday (02/07), at 21:00.

In addition to Brazil, Switzerland has become the representative of Group E over the last 16 years. The country is ranked second in the group after being held to a 2-2 draw by Costa Rica.

Switzerland will serve the Group F champions Sweden on Tuesday (03/07) at 21:00.
