Switzerland 2-0 Algeria Result: Swiss Record First Knockout Win Since 1938
Switzerland convincingly marched into the World Cup Round of 16 after securing a routine 2-0 victory over Algeria at BC Place in Vancouver.

The historic win marked a monumental milestone for Murat Yakin’s disciplined squad, who celebrated the nation’s first World Cup knockout round victory since 1938

The Swiss team set the tempo just ten minutes into the clash when breakout star Johan Manzambi produced a brilliant solo run to set up Breel Embolo for an easy tap-in

Any hopes of a North African comeback were completely shattered just forty-eight seconds into the second half when winger Dan Ndoye ruthlessly capitalized on a defensive lapse to double the lead

While a thoroughly frustrated Algeria squad packs their bags as the sixth African team eliminated from the tournament, Switzerland remains unbeaten in North America

The clinical Europeans will now stay in Vancouver to prepare for a highly anticipated Round of 16 blockbuster against either Colombia or Ghana
