Philippe Coutinho’s curling strike was cancelled out by Steven Zuber’s second-half header as Brazil were held to a draw by Switzerland.
Brazil continued the trend of tournament favourites underperforming as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Switzerland in their World Cup Group E opener in Rostov.
Marcelo’s cross from the left bounced back out of the box to the feet of Coutinho, who took a touch to control it before unleashing a shot that curled spectacularly around helpless goalkeeper Yann Sommer and in off the post.
Switzerland drew level only four minutes into the second half when a corner from Shaqiri found Zuber unmarked on the edgeof the six-yard box and he had the simple task of heading the ball beyond Alisson and high into the centre of the goal.
