Only four were on target.
Switzerland on the other hand had shots and two on target in the entire game.
This draw puts Serbia ahead of Brazil and Switzerland as they defeated Costa Rica earlier today.
Neymar who is Brazil’s main man was not given the room to operate freely.
He tried his best but Switzerland closed him down quickly to nullify his threat.
There were penalty claims in the match by the Brazilians but the match officials were having none of that.
Brazil now have to put this behind them and focus on their next game which is against Costa Rica.
Brazil are very good when they come against teams from South America.
