Match story
Bosnia held firm for a long time against a dominant but wasteful Switzerland. In the 74th minute, Johan Manzambi pounced on a poor clearance to make it 1-0. Six minutes later, Tarik Muharemovic stopped Embolo as the last defender and was sent off. From there, Vargas, Manzambi again and Xhaka from the spot turned the finish into a Swiss rout, despite Mahmic's consolation.
