Switzerland won a World Cup knockout game for the first time in 88 years, advancing to the last 16 for the fourth finals running after a routine 2-0 victory over Algeria. Murat Yakin's side broke the deadlock in the 10th minute as Johan Manzambi embarked on a fine individual run before putting the ball on a plate for Breel Embolo to tuck into an empty net. Switzerland struck again almost immediately after the break, attacking down the right before a half-hearted clearance from Rafik Belghali ended up at the feet of Dan Ndoye, who placed his shot beyond the dive of goalkeeper Luca Zidane. Algeria enjoyed more possession at 56%, but the superiority of Switzerland's attacking play was highlighted by their xG of 2.52 compared to their opponents' 0.73. Switzerland will now face Colombia in Vancouver in the Round of 16.
