The result: disappointing. The performance: good. At the start of the European Championship, Switzerland only played 1: 1 against Wales, it would have been much more possible. Because Vladimir Petkovic’s team dominated for long stretches – but Wales had the first chance of the game. But Yann Sommer saved against header monster Kieffer Moore.

It didn’t take long before Fabian Schär also had a great chance. However, his acrobatic attempt was fought off by Wales goalie Danny Ward.
Shortly after the break, however, the supposed redemption: Xherdan Shaqiri’s corner kick found Breel Embolo’s head, who couldn’t be pushed away and scored to make the celebrated 1-0. The most difficult thing was done, Switzerland on the way to three points.
But then the Swiss dismantled in an inexplicable way, allowing the previously clearly inferior Welsh to come into play. Moore punished this sudden passivity, after a corner he rose the highest and scored the equalizer.
Now the Swiss were challenged again – and time was running out for them. Petkovic reacted, brought in Mario Gavranovic for Haris Seferovic. And the substitute met a few moments later. Big cheers, then disillusionment: the VAR recognized an offside. And so it remained with the disappointing result – so Switzerland is finally challenged against Italy and Turkey.
