The Nati have clearly gained the upper hand in their opposition to Wales but cannot, for the moment, unlock the counter. However, there were many opportunities for the Swiss selection. On three occasions, striker Haris Seferovic failed to open the scoring. First of a heavy strike of the left foot in pivot which grazed the right window of Danny Ward (26th). Then with his right foot at the entrance to the surface but the ball flew into the air (41st) just like his last opportunity, the most frank, while he was alone against the Welsh goalkeeper (45 + 1). On this action, Breel Embolo could also have benefited from a penalty for pulling a shirt from Chris Mepham when serving Seferovic.
If Switzerland set foot on the ball, the Red Dragons tried to play on the counterattack but without very well negotiating the few shots to their credit. The Welsh, however, had the first action of the match on a well-placed header from Kieffer Moore, beautifully diverted for a corner by Yann Sommer (15th). Overall, Gareth Bale’s teammates are doing well against Swiss domination thanks to a dense block positioned very low and difficult to move. We expect a second period a little more rhythmic!
