2018 FIFA World Cup - 27 June 2018

Loading player...
This evening the attention will be focussed on the Spartak Stadium in Moscow where the five-times champions, Brazil, and Serbia will go head-to-head in the final round of matches in Group F of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Last night turned out to be rather dramatic as Argentina scored a late goal to advance to the round of 16 by the skin of their teeth, while it was heartbreak for the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
Argentina were in danger of becoming the first major team to get knocked out in the group stage, however, Brazil, are now the team that face that possibility.
It is simple for both the Samba Boys and Serbia, win or go home. Switzerland, who top the group, are up against Costa Rica in Nizhny Novgorod, and it is expected that they should not have too much trouble in winning this evening.
The Brazilians have been blowing hot and cold following a 1-1 draw to the Swiss and very late 2-0 win over the Costa Ricans.
The Serbians, in their turn, have been pretty solid with a 1-0 win over Costa Rica and nearly held the Swiss to a 1-1 draw.
