Akanji should be scoring there. 

[Stan]

Cameroon have been the better side but the game lacks that cutting edge or extra bit of quality. 

[Gunnersaurus]

Just turned it on. First thing I noticed is how karen Carney can analyse a game much better than her male counterparts 

[Mel81x+]

How easy was that. 

[Stan]

1-0 to the Swiss!

Embolo scores. He was born in Cameroon so that must be somewhat bitter-sweet...

[Pyfish+]

1-0. Good ball by Shaqiri for that goal.

[Stan]

Cameroon need to find a way of getting the ball to Choupo-Moting quicker and more frequently as he's bound to tuck away a chance. 

[Stan]

Should be 2-0. Brilliant save by Onana. 

[Gunnersaurus]

79 minutes gone. So Switzerland only have to hold out for about an hour

Are you referring to the header? I think it was quite near to him. It was a good save but I think you probably expect a top level keeper to save

Nah it was the cutback similar to how the first goal was scored. On the replay it was pretty much straight at him anyway. In real time it looked further in the corner.

I agree that Cameroon needed a flair player to unlock Switzerland.

Surprised about the dark side of Switzerland's game and the ref seemed to miss some things.

Still someone took a swipe at Xhaka off the ball and he was not too happy.

Could have been 2-0 without that determined defending at the end.

I'm guessing big teams just don't trust Yann Sommer's height because he should've made the step up from Mönchengladbach by now.

Cameroon surprisingly had more of the dangerous chances in this game. But Switzerland scored through their Cameroon born striker, Embolo. He found the net with a shot in the area after a clever cross from Shaqiri. Vargas also had a great chance to score, but his powerful shot in the area from a cross, was well saved by Onana. Choupo-Moting looked very lively for Cameroon, but in the end, Switzerland won by one goal to nil.
