Swiss coach proud of unbeaten group stage performance

“The pressure was huge, but we endured it. The result was fair for both teams,” Murat Yakin said after the match. Switzerland took the lead through Ndoye, but 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 are leading 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,” 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 game.”

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 have to take risks and you can concede goals. We deserved the equaliser.

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 on from the bench.”

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