Shaqiri's Late Strike Puts Switzerland Over Serbia

For the second time in two World Cup matches Switzerland started agonizingly slow, their defensive plan disrupted and surrendering an early goal, while their attack was nonexistent. For the second time Switzerland fought back in the second half, but this time they scored two goals, not one, and defeated Serbia 2-1 in Kaliningrad on Friday night.

Xherdan Shaqiri’s strike in the 90th minute was the difference, a goal that will likely advance Switzerland to the Round of 16. Serbia faces a tough match against powerhouse Brazil.
