Breel Embolo’s delicate lob caps off a 3-1 Switzerland win over Hungary in Euro 2024 Group A, as the Rossocrociati stave off a late Magyars fightback.
Switzerland survived a late Hungary scare to triumph 3-1 in their opening Euro 2024 Group A contest in Cologne.
Murat Yakin‘s men were a class above in the first period and deservedly took a two-goal lead into the break through Kwadwo Duah and Michael Aebischer, both of whom registered their first goals for the national team in the process.
Marco Rossi‘s Hungary offered little threat whatsoever during the opening period, but they belatedly lit the blue-touch paper in the second period through a Barnabas Varga header and looked the likeliest to score again in a dramatic finale.
However, a late defensive error – not the first of the day from the Hungarians – teed up Breel Embolo to restore Switzerland’s two-goal advantage right at the death in a particularly poignant moment for the 27-year-old.
