Switzerland secured a convincing 2-0 victory over Italy in a round of 16 match at Euro 2024, sending the defending champions crashing out of the tournament. The match, held at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, was a display of tactical brilliance by the Swiss side.
Switzerland dominated possession and created several chances throughout the game. Their efforts paid off in the second half when Breel Embolo rose above the Italian defense to head home a precise cross from Xherdan Shaqiri, giving Switzerland the lead. Italy struggled to respond effectively, and Switzerland capitalized with a second goal later in the half. Haris Seferovic slotted in Switzerland's second goal after a well-timed through ball from Remo Freuler.
This win marks a significant upset for Switzerland, who continue their impressive run at Euro 2024. They will now face a tough challenge in the quarter-finals, where they'll play either France or Belgium. Italy, on the other hand, will be left to rue their missed opportunities and ponder an early exit from the competition they hoped to defend.
