Who will respond better to that decicion?

The replay shows Richarlison was definitely offside before he ran back to flick the ball to Casemiro. Shame.

Brazil 0-0 Switzerland

Oh it was Richarlison who was penalised for an offside earlier in that move. Vinicius Jr was onside when he got the ball himself.

DISALLOWED GOAL

Brazil 0-0 Switzerland

Noooooooo. The goal has been taken off us all.

Vinicius Jr was just offside as Casemiro picked him out.
