Complete Head-to-Head Record

That first-round encounter set the tone for a competitive rivalry that would see Switzerland prove remarkably difficult for Brazil to break down in subsequent meetings.
Switzerland's defensive resilience against Brazil was evident again in 2018, when they frustrated the South American giants with another 1-1 draw.
