Shaqiri the hero of Switzerland, Serbia is waiting for an impossible mission

Great match in Kaliningrad

Representations of Serbia and Switzerland at the stadium in Kaliningrad played a match for the second round of Group E. There was a great battle on the field, and this match ended with Switzerland's victory 2: 1.

The winners of Mladen Krstajic openly opened the match and threatened to threaten after five minutes of the game through Mitrovic. His head was then stopped by Sommer, but the Swiss goalkeeper was not rescued just a few moments later. Tadic sent a new center, and Mitrovic sent unsuccessful strikes towards the goal of Switzerland, so Serbia took 1: 0 in the 5th minute.

In the 10th minute, Dzemaili had a chance to immediately return, but his shot was brilliantly defended by Stojkovic. After this attempt, the game moved to the middle of the court, a real "Trench fight" was seen, and then Dzemaili again threatened in 30 minutes. Again, however, Stojkovic was at the height of the task.

The first half ended with a score of 1: 0 for Serbia, and the Swiss after the break move on equalization. They quickly came to the same conclusion after Granit Xhaka scored a 1: 1 shot from the distance after 53 minutes.

Shaqiri then blamed Serbia for free only after 15 minutes of the game. However, Krstajić's favorites failed to create a more dangerous chance, while on the other hand, Gavranovic missed a great opportunity for Switzerland 15 minutes before the end.

Gavranovic missed another great opportunity for Switzerland, and in 84th minute he found himself in front of Stojkovic, but the goalkeeper of Serbia managed to stop his attempt.

And then in the 90th minute, the sweltering Swiss counterattack shone, Shaqiri ran out greatly and eventually stole Stojkovic for the final 2: 1.
