The Swiss national team achieved an important victory in Group G of the World Championship.
After a tough battle, Murat Yakin's players defeated Cameroon 1-0.
At the beginning of the match, the Africans missed a chance to score when T. Ekambi sent the ball over the crossbar after a mistake by goalkeeper Y. Sommer.
The Swiss tried to control the ball longer, but Cameroon's attacks were more dangerous - C. Fai had a chance in the 29th minute.
The Europeans almost scored in the 40th minute - N. Elvedi had a chance after a corner.
After the break, the only goal of the match was scored.
In the 48th minute, B. Embolo scored after a precise pass from X. Shaqiri - 1-0. However, the Cameroonian-born footballer did not show much emotion.
The Swiss had a chance to double the lead, but the African goalkeeper A. Onana saved R. Vargas's shot.
