Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Bosnia-Herzegovina get us underway at SoFi Stadium.
  • 5' Nikola Katic is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Bosnia-Herzegovina tonight.
  • 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Edin Dzeko suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Switzerland and Bosnia-Herzegovina are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' Michel Aebischer has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 30' Switzerland are deployed in a 4-3-3 today, looking to exploit space against Bosnia-Herzegovina's 4-4-2 shape.
  • 35' Switzerland are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 40' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 45' The travelling Bosnia-Herzegovina supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 50' It looks surprising Bosnia-Herzegovina does not make any changes. Breel Embolo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 55' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 59' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Amar Dedic on 59 minutes.
  • 61' It’s a booking for Bosnia-Herzegovina player. Edin Dzeko gets a card.
  • 63' A tactical swap from Bosnia-Herzegovina — Ivan Basic on, Benjamin Tahirovic off on 63 minutes.
  • 64' A tactical swap from Bosnia-Herzegovina — Esmir Bajraktarevic on, Edin Dzeko off on 64 minutes.
  • 65' Switzerland player sees a card in front of him.
  • 70' Tarik Muharemovic has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 529 appearances.
  • 71' Johan Manzambi is ready to make an impact after coming on for Dan Ndoye at the 71 minute mark.
  • 74' Johan Manzambi makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Switzerland are in front.
  • 79' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 80' Tarik Muharemovic picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 84' Ruben Vargas makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and Switzerland are in front.
  • 86' A change in the Bosnia-Herzegovina ranks — Ivan Sunjic exits the field as Amir Hadziahmetovic enters on 86.
  • 89' Cedric Itten is ready to make an impact after coming on for Breel Embolo at the 89 minute mark.
  • 90' The crowd applauds Kerim Alajbegovic as he leaves the pitch. Ermin Mahmic steps in for Bosnia-Herzegovina.
  • 90' Johan Manzambi with the second goal in the match!
  • Game over. The scoreline of 4-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
