Slick Switzerland sweep previous Algeria into World Cup last 16
Create us preferred on Google Algeria's Jaouen Hadjam in measure with Switzerland's Johan Manzambi and Nico Elvedi in Fifa World Cup 2026 Round of 32 fit between Switzerland and Algeria at BC Location, Vancouver, Canada, July 2, 2026. — Reuters Switzerland's Breel Embolo struck initial and Dan Ndoye added a second after the shatter as they cruised to a 2-0 prevail over Algeria and into the last 16 at the World Cup, where they will encounter Colombia or Ghana back in Vancouver next week.
The victory was Switzerland's first in the knockout step since 1938, and they will fancy their chances in the next round after a tactical masterclass orchestrated by coach Murat Yakin.
They shifted formations and laid traps for Algeria before hitting them with two sucker-punch goals that decided a contest short on excitement, still full of intrigue and nuance.
Pitted against a familiar foe in Algeria coach Vladimir Petkovic, who had seven years at the helm of Switzerland between 2014 and 2021, Yakin set his squad up to absorb initial pressure and strike on the shatter, and that is exactly what they did.
"We couldn't underestimate Algeria and we had to be clinical, that clinical finishing made the contrast today," striker Embolo said.
