Embolo’s 11th goal in 16 international appearances, which separates the sides thus far, was also his 26th for Switzerland. It moved him joint-seventh with Adrian Knup on his nation’s all-time list.

Found in space down the right, Ndoye whips a low cross into the box towards Embolo at the near post. Mandi sticks to the forward, though, and diverts his shot away from goal.

Zakaria, whose last international goal came back in 2019, gets his head on the end of an inswinging Vargas free-kick. However, the midfielder cannot keep the header down.
Manzambi is trying to lead the Swiss charge again, until he’s stopped in his tracks by Chaibi. The Algeria winger is the first player into the book today.

We’re in the city that hosted the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Today, Algeria are aiming to achieve a personal best by winning their first World Cup knockout match. It would see them match their best performance by reaching the round of 16. They must improve, though, to stand any chance of doing that today.
32′
Switzerland threaten with Vargas embarking on a jinking run into the left side of the penalty area. He manages to squeeze in a cross, but it’s easily dealt with by Ait-Nouri. Not long after, Manzambi drives into the box, but Bentaleb tracks his run.
