Switzerland swat Algeria aside at 2026 FIFA World Cup
Switzerland booked their place in the round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup by beating Algeria with goals from Breel Embolo and Dan Ndoye.
Murat Yakin’s side took the lead in the 10th minute as Johan Manzambi’s cut-back from the byline provided Embolo the chance to tuck home from inside the six-yard box.
Ndoye doubled Switzerland’s lead when he controlled Rafik Belghali’s half-clearance just inside the area before calmly slotting beyond the despairing dive of Luca Zidane.
Algeria could not find a way back into the game and crashed out of the tournament, leaving Switzerland cruising into the round of 16 at the World Cup for the fourth consecutive competition.
Switzerland will remain in Vancouver, where they will next take on either Colombia or Ghana on 7 July.
