The match saw Switzerland take the lead in the 37th minute when Remo Freuler opened the scoring.
The midfielder, who plies his trade with Bologna in Serie A, showcased his skill with a well-placed shot that gave the Swiss a crucial advantage.
At the start of the second half, Ruben Vargas, who plays for Augsburg in the Bundesliga, doubled Switzerland’s lead with a goal in the 46th minute. Vargas, who also assisted Freuler’s opening goal, cemented Switzerland’s dominance and set the tone for the rest of the match.
