🧠 Match Summary

vs

Switzerland delivered a commanding performance in Los Angeles to book their place in the next round, defeating Bosnia & Herzegovina 4-1 at SoFi Stadium on Matchday 8 of Group B. The Swiss dominated proceedings with 62% possession and 13 shots, but the goals came late in a tense contest. Johan Manzambi broke the deadlock on 74 minutes and completed a fine individual display with a second in the 90th minute, while Rubén Vargas added a third six minutes earlier. Granit Xhaka converted a penalty deep into stoppage time to seal the rout.

Bosnia & Herzegovina, who finished the match with ten men following a red card, pulled one back through Ermin Mahmic in the 90th minute, but their indiscipline proved costly — 18 fouls and two yellow cards telling the story of a side that struggled to contain Switzerland's quality throughout.
