The leader of the FIFA ranking defeated Serbia 2-0 in the opening of the tournament and beat Switzerland 1-0 in the continuation. Opponents in these two games did not make a single shot on goal for Brazil.
Such statistical indicators of the shots made have been compiled since 1966. Until now, only one team had managed to play so well in defense in the opening of the World Cup.
In 1998, in the first two games of the tournament, such a defense was demonstrated by the French national team, which triumphed in the World Cup that year. France opened the tournament with a 3-0 win over South Africa and a 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia.
Brazil is one of three teams to have won two games in two games and qualified for the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup. French and Portuguese footballers have also done it.
Brazil will play Cameroon at the end of the group stage on December 2.
