Defeat for either side at the Al Janoub Stadium in Monday’s first match would spell the end of their last-16 qualification dreams after both suffered opening week losses.
The Indomitable Lions gave a solid enough account of themselves but fell victim to a second-half winner from Cameroon-born forward Breel Embolo – who did not celebrate – against Switzerland, continuing a winless run on football’s grandest stage that dates all the way back to the 2002 tournament in Japan and South Korea.
Serbia, meanwhile, frustrated Brazil’s much-fancied samba stars for more than an hour before a stylish Richarlison brace broke their stubborn resistance in a 2-0 reverse in Lusail.
