Switzerland vs Cameroon FIFA World Cup 2022 Highlights

FT: Breel Embolo’s goal sends Switzerland to an important three points in their quest to qualify from Group G. The World Cup can work in cruel ways as Embolo was born, yes, in Cameroon. He decided against celebrating.

Cameroon started brightly but ran out of steam as the game wore on. The Swiss managed this game perfectly.

• Switzerland are unbeaten on MD1 in each of their last six World Cup participations (W3 D3), last being defeated in their opening match back in 1966 against Germany.
• Cameroon have lost each of their last eight games at the World Cup; only Mexico have ever lost more games in a row in the competition’s history (nine between 1930 & 1958).
• Breel Embolo, who was born in Cameroon, has scored in each of his last three competitive appearances for Switzerland – this is his best such run for the national team.
