MOSCOW, Russia (AP) — Brazil and Switzerland have halftime leads in the last Group E games and are on track to advance to the knockout stage at the World Cup.

Brazil has a 1-0 lead over Serbia in Moscow after Paulinho took a long pass from Philippe Coutinho down the centre of the field and chipped it over the outstretched arms of goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic just above the penalty spot.

Blerim Dzemaili has given Switzerland a 1-0 lead over Costa Rica in Nizhny Novgorod.

Dzemaili scored in the 31st after the ball was headed back to him by Breel Embolo and he finished off from close range.

Costa Rica is yet to score in the tournament, and in the first half against Switzerland it was unlucky not to have a few.

Daniel Colindres hit the crossbar in the 10th minute, and in the opening few minutes Joel Campbell and Bryan Ruiz had golden chances. Bryan Oviedo also came close with a cross that Swiss keeper Yann Sommer batted away.

Brazil and Switzerland had four points apiece going into the last games, which are being played simultaneously. Serbia has three points and still has a chance to advance.
