A goal inside the last 10 minutes from midfielder Casemiro was enough for Brazil to edge past Switzerland and seal a place in the World Cup knockout stages in Qatar with one group game to spare.
Casemiro struck with a sliced volley in the 83rd minute which appeared to take the slightest of deflections off defender Manuel Akanji before beating Yann Sommer in the Swiss goal.
After seeing off Serbia in their opening game, five-time World Cup winners Brazil are top of Group G on six points from two games.
