Switzerland 2-0 Algeria: FIFA World Cup 2026. Breel Embolo and Dan Ndoye scored goals in each half as Switzerland beat Algeria 2-0, advancing to the FIFA World Cup’s Round of 16 on Thursday in Vancouver, Canada.
Embolo gave Switzerland the lead in the 10th minute before Ndoye doubled their advantage a minute into the second half.
Switzerland has not won a knockout-round match since 1938 in France, but in 1954 the team won a playoff game to reach the quarterfinals.
Although the Swiss reached the round of 16 at the past three World Cups, there was a smaller field of 32 teams in each of those tournaments, and they could get no further.
