Switzerland secured a commanding 2-0 victory over Algeria to book their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 at BC Place in Vancouver on Friday.
Breel Embolo opened the scoring in the 10th minute after Johan Manzambi’s impressive run and assist. Dan Ndoye doubled the advantage within a minute of the second half, capitalising on a poor Algerian clearance to net his first goal of the tournament. Algeria showed flashes of promise before the break but failed to respond after conceding the second goal.
