The Match
The game started turbulently with two early goals. Zan Vipotnik put the hosts ahead in just the second minute. Switzerland equalized eight minutes later through an Erik Janža own goal. The decisive moment came in the 38th minute when Dan Ndoye, set up by Zeki Amdouni, made it 2-1. The Swiss controlled proceedings thereafter, enjoying 67 percent possession.
The second half saw fewer goals but no less intensity. Slovenia received five yellow cards in total, while the Swiss were shown just one. Coach Yakin made several changes to protect the lead, bringing on Sascha Britschgi for Ricardo Rodríguez, Djibril Sow for Michel Aebischer, and later Winsley Boteli Mokango for Zeki Amdouni. Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel was only required to make two saves, while his Slovenian counterpart Jan Oblak made six.
