With their 1-0 victory over Switzerland on Monday evening, the Seleaco secured their spot in the round of 16 tournament.
Casemiro's stunning goal in the game's final moments gave Coach Tite's team the win and the three points.
“There is [joy] playing for one’s fatherland. Switzerland have shown us today that if you find a way to play against Brazil, you might get something out of the game.
“When it gets to the knockout stage, all you need is to get it right on the day and you might cause an upset.” He said.
Casemiro's deflected shot was all the Brazilian needed to beat the Swiss, who put in a strong effort but were unlucky not to get a point on Monday.
Casemiro's goal for his team was also praised by the former Super Eagles of Nigeria star.
“Every striker will be proud of that goal. He has got it in his locker.There was a deflection, but he’ll take it any day,” Okocha said onSupersport.
“I mean he was on target as well, but you can see from the keeper’sreaction that it was a deflection.”
