Landmark victory at the Yellow Cup – Switzerland gives Bosnia-Herzegovina 39 goals – Sport

  • Switzerland celebrates a 39:21 victory against Bosnia-Herzegovina at the 50th Yellow Cup in Winterthur.
  • Andy Schmid only plays the first 11 minutes, after which the playmaker is rested.
  • Manuel Zehnder steps into the breach and leads the Swiss game formidably.

The 40-year-old showed how important Andy Schmid is for the Swiss game right from the start in the game against Bosnia-Herzegovina. After 11 minutes, Switzerland was ahead 7:3 – Schmid had scored 4 times and set up 3 times. Coach Michael Suter then took his successor as national coach off the field and didn’t bring him back until the end – with the exception of two seven-meter throws. A purely precautionary measure, as was heard from the Nati circle. You don’t have to worry about Schmid.

The outgoing national coach Michael Suter and his successor Andy Schmid will be guests on the “Sportpanorama” program on SRF on Sunday evening at 6 p.m.

However, anyone who worried that Switzerland could fall apart without its leader was disappointed. Because Manuel Zehnder, the current top scorer in the German Bundesliga, replaced Schmid perfectly. The 24-year-old from ThSV Eisenach shone in the next few minutes with 5 goals and repeatedly put his teammates in the spotlight.

Thanks also to Manuel Zehnder, Switzerland went into the break with a score of 18:14 and pulled away unstoppably in the second half. Bosnia-Herzegovina only wanted to score 7 goals after the break.
