“The pressure on us was huge, but we endured it. The result was fair for both teams,” Murat Yakin said after the match. Switzerland took the lead thanks to Ndoye’s goal. It wasn’t until the 90+2 minute that substitute Niclas Fuellkrug equalized for Germany.

With this result, Germany leads Group A with 7 points. Switzerland is in 2nd place with 5 points. “The match against Germany was very tactical. We ran a lot throughout the match. This was very effective.

We could have won. If you lead until the 90+2 minute, it is sad to lose. But overall we are happy for the players. I am proud of the team, happy that we are still undefeated,” Mr. Murat Yakin emphasized.

Meanwhile, man of the match Granit Xhaka said: “It was disappointing to concede so late. Overall, Switzerland showed great character. We kept the ball, played well, and put pressure on Germany for most of the match.”

Meanwhile, Germany coach Nagelsmann insisted the 1-1 draw was fair. “In the end it was a deserved point,” he said. “Of course, when you counter-attack you take risks and you can concede goals. We deserved the equalizer.

Switzerland are a great opponent, it was an exciting game. We did well tactically. It was important to have players who can score decisive goals when coming on as substitutes. We analysed the opponent to choose the starting lineup, then we could bring different players from the bench.”

In the round of 16, Germany will face the second-placed team in Group C (England, Denmark, Serbia and Slovenia). Meanwhile, Switzerland will face the second-placed team in Group B (Spain, Italy, Croatia and Albania).
