Serbia vs Switzerland LIVE!
What has been an incredibly dramatic World Cup 2022 group stage finished with a bang as Serbia and Switzerland played out a five goal thriller at Stadium 974 in Doha. And it was the Swiss who negotiated their way to the last 16, after goals from Xherdan Shaqiri, Breel Embolo and Remo Freuler sunk a spirited and often spiky Serbian side.
A meeting with Portugal will now greet the Swiss, who fell 2-1 behind after quick-fire goals from Serbia strikers Aleksander Mitrovic and Dusan Vlahovic, but showed great character and resilience to see out this victory and finish second – only behind Brazil on goal difference after the Seleacao’s 1-0 defeat to Cameroon. Brazil will play South Korea in the next round.
