New Delhi: Germany entered their UEFA Euro 2024 clash with Switzerland at Deutsche Bank Park, Frankfurt (Sunday, June 23) with a relaxed demeanor, having already secured their place in the knockout rounds. Switzerland, eager to remain unbeaten for a chance at the final 16, faced a pivotal challenge. Germany had solidified their position atop Group A with a convincing 2-0 victory over Hungary in Stuttgart, fueled by goals from Jamal Musiala and captain Ilkay Gundogan, underscoring their dominance in the group stage. Head coach Julian Nagelsmann adeptly rotated his squad, resting key players to prepare for the knockout phase, maintaining a commendable six-match unbeaten streak.
Switzerland, on the brink of reaching the Euro 2024 knockout stages, needed to avoid defeat against Germany to secure their progression. The match ultimately ended in a dramatic 1-1 draw. Switzerland initially took the lead through Ndoye’s close-range volley just before halftime, following Andrich’s disallowed goal due to a foul in the buildup. Despite Switzerland’s stout defense and Vargas’ apparent goal disallowed for offside late in the game, Germany mounted a late surge. Nagelsmann’s tactical substitutions proved decisive, as Fullkrug rose highest to head Raum’s cross past Sommer in stoppage time, salvaging a draw and ensuring Germany finished atop Group A.
The thrilling encounter showcased Germany’s resilience and Switzerland’s determined efforts, setting the stage for an exciting continuation in the tournament.

Vargas controls play in the penalty area, attracting two defenders before passing to Xhaka 20 yards out. The captain unleashes a powerful first-time shot toward the near post, forcing the Germany goalkeeper to stretch and push it behind with his fingertips.
24 Jun 2024 02:14 AM (IST)
Vargas’ celebrations are abruptly halted as the linesman raises the flag for offside. Amdouni and Duah display a delightful exchange after Sommer’s goal kick, culminating in Vargas slotting the ball into the net at the far post. However, the goal is disallowed, maintaining the scoreline at 1-0.
24 Jun 2024 02:09 AM (IST)
Vargas sends a curling cross towards the six-yard box, aiming for Akanji, but Schlotterbeck clears it with a powerful header. Shortly after, Aebischer fouls Kroos, allowing Germany an opportunity to clear their lines completely from the resulting set-piece.
24 Jun 2024 02:05 AM (IST)
Another double change for Germany. Wirtz and Musiala come off for Sane and Fullkrug.
24 Jun 2024 01:59 AM (IST)

24 Jun 2024 01:47 AM (IST)
Embolo attempts to retain possession in midfield and successfully turns Tah, who responds by clumsily bringing him down. Yakin, visibly frustrated, moves towards the edge of his technical area, anticipating a second yellow card, but the referee awards only a free-kick, sparing Tah from further discipline.
24 Jun 2024 01:41 AM (IST)
Wirtz delivers a precise outside-of-the-foot pass to find Musiala near the edge of the penalty area from a central position. The Bayern Munich forward controls the ball, shifts slightly outward, and unleashes a powerful shot towards the goal. Sommer responds with a strong punch to deny the effort.

Switzerland orchestrates a smooth build-up from defense, with Rodriguez’s long pass finding Embolo in Germany’s territory. Embolo moves wide and attempts to release Rieder, who unfortunately slips after evading his marker, allowing Neuer to collect the ball.
24 Jun 2024 01:36 AM (IST)
Switzerland start the second half. Germany will look to get level in the next 15 minutes, while Switzerland will be happy to sit back and defend.
24 Jun 2024 01:32 AM (IST)
Switzerland will sit on the top spot with 7 points, while Germany sit in second with 6 points if the score stays 1-0 to the Swiss. Meanwhile, Scotland and Hungary went 0-0 into halftime. Scotland has to beat Hungary by at least three goals, and Germany has to win by two goals if the Tartan Army hope to qualify.
If Scotland wins convincingly against Hungary, then Scottish fans can pray to qualify as one of the four third-place teams in the Round of 16. However, as things stand, Scotland and Hungary are both out.
24 Jun 2024 01:28 AM (IST)
Germany will face the challenge of breaking through Switzerland’s organized midfield in the second half, as Andrich and Gundogan have struggled to find threatening positions near the penalty area. Bringing on Muller could provide valuable experience and his knack for exploiting gaps, while Sane’s pace could stretch Switzerland’s compact formation.
Switzerland, content with a draw, will be pleased with their performance so far under Yakin’s guidance, urging his team to maintain focus for the crucial second half. Ndoye is likely to be substituted to avoid a suspension, while Vargas and Duah may enter later to inject fresh energy.

24 Jun 2024 01:12 AM (IST)
Embolo gets to a pass in midfield in front of the technical area ahead of Tah, who leaps over the striker from behind, taking him down as a result. It’s a yellow card for the Germany centre-back, who will now miss the first knockout match.

What a strike from Robert Andrich! However, a poor challenge by Musiala during the build-up in the Swiss penalty box called for a VAR check. The referee rules the goal out. Score still nil=nil.
24 Jun 2024 12:45 AM (IST)
