No major intervention required. He can do nothing about the Hungarian goal. Perfect in the kicking game when Switzerland calmly brought out the ball.
Well placed, serene. Not as precise as usual on his long balls, but present in the duels. A sure bet for the Swiss team.
He’s the boss of the defense. He proposes himself, he offers solutions and, when there are none, he is capable of surpassing them in strength, in power. Impeccable.
Experience makes the difference. On certain Hungarian balls, he does what is necessary to destabilize his opponent and closes his zone well. An exemplary match.
Not easy for him on the right side. Not much, if any, offensive impact in support of Ndoye. One or two scares after the break. Can do better.
Perfectly complementary around his captain. Nothing brilliant or spectacular, but very valuable shadow work to close off the spaces.
The captain was voted man of the match. Because, from the first to the last minute, he was the boss of the selection. He guided everything: a real conductor.
Simple: Aebischer, it’s a superb assist for the 1-0 and a delicious goal just before the break. Cleverly organized to slide from the outside to the inside of the game.
Moose, but also a little waste. He no longer had Ndoye behind him, and that was felt a little. He still missed a big opportunity in the first half.
The surprise guest of this selection and this first match is him. And it’s a success: he senses Aebischer’s pass well and is effective at the conclusion.
He played the four preparation matches on the left lane. He found himself a right winger. Not a problem for him. Some intentions that deserved better.
Entered in the 68th for Widmer: not easy for him in a role he does not know.
Entered in the 68th for Duah: he gets a little confused on a break. Damage.
Entered in the 74th for Vargas: in a few minutes, a presence, a goal, promises.
