Brazil beat Switzerland 1-0 on Monday night in front of a whole host of VIPs.
Kaka, Cafu, Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos were among the Brazil legends in the crowd.
Neymar was a spectator too after damaging the ligaments in his right ankle in last week's 2-0 win over Serbia.
Without Neymar on the pitch, Brazil struggled to break down a highly-defensive Switzerland side until Casemiro produced a moment of magic in the 83rd minute.
The Manchester United midfield nailed a sweet half-volley following a cross from Real Madrid forward Rodrygo.
It took a slight deflection on its way into the net but Casemiro's strike was still one that Carlos and Co would have been proud of themselves.
Brazil's win saw them seal a place in the last 16 at Qatar 2022 with a game to spare.
