Switzerland – Italy 2:0 (1:0)

Tore: 1:0 Remo Freuler (37. Minute), 2:0 Ruben Vargas (46.)

Definitely yes. Even though there was no clear favorite before the game, even though Italy won the last European Championship and you should never write them off – with a 2-0 victory for Switzerland, Italy actually got off lightly.

Swiss coach Murat Yakin wanted to see “more pressure”. And the Swiss delivered. The national team dominated the game from the start, at one point having almost 65 percent possession. When they didn’t have the ball, the Swiss ran energetically against it. And that despite the heat in Berlin’s Olympic Stadium. As they had done against the DFB team, they disrupted the Italians’ build-up early on, and every Italian player was covered.
