The holders
Yann Sommer: 4
Fortunately for him, VAR saved the day (Musiala fault on Aebischer). Because his blunder on Andrich’s shot is a real downer.
Fabian Schär: 5
Physically present in duels, especially in the head. But some concerns on the first reminders. It remains solid despite everything.
Akanji Manual: 7
The defense boss has shown this on several occasions, in interventions as a last resort. He was not directly involved in Füllkrug’s goal.
Ricardo Rodriguez: 6
Much better than against Scotland. With experience, Rodriguez did what was necessary to cut the passing lines or support Aebischer, who really needed it.
Silvan Widmer: 4
Often found himself alone against Mittelstädt, it was the gamble with Rieder’s refocusing. Was at pains for this. And took a card which deprived him of the 8th final.
Remo Freuler: 7
Very complicated start to the match for him. And after a few minutes and a Xhaka who helps him by voice, he regains confidence. It is he who makes the pass to Ndoye.
Xhaka Granite: 7
The boss is back after struggling against Scotland. He led the maneuver, without a big save from Neuer, he would have even scored the 2-0…
Michel Aebischer: 4
This time confined to the left lane, where he has little experience, he was in difficulty. Worrying start to the meeting, feverish choices. Supported by Rodriguez, he held on as best he could.
Dan Ndoye: 8
His first goal with Switzerland is a little gem. He is at the beginning of the action and at the conclusion ahead of Tah. He worried Neuer shortly after. It is essential.
Breel Embolo: 6
He weighed on the German defense, he was there for that. Several bad passes or choices in the first moments. the lack of rhythm. But a powerful presence.
Fabian Rieder: 7
Yakin’s surprise, a hybrid positioning, but a great performance: he is intelligent, he has the technique, the vision. He is at the start of the Swiss goal.
Fabian Rieder was the pleasant surprise of Murat Yakin’s eleven on Sunday against Germany at the Euro.

The replacements
Ruben Vargas: 3
Entered in the 65th for Rieder: he misses an easy pass for Amdouni who would have left alone. He stupidly puts himself in an offside position on a counterattack, while he was alone, his goal is canceled.
Zeki Amdouni: 6
Entered in the 65th for Ndoye: he could have gone alone if Vargas had been better inspired. It is he who then throws Vargas perfectly, but the latter anticipates and is offside…
Kwadwo Duah: 4
Entered in the 65th for Embolo: complicated entry, he tried to play as a support point on a few breaks, but without much success.
