Switzerland made a impressive start to their Euro 2024 campaign, defeating Hungary 3-1 in their opening Group A match on Saturday. Kwadwo Duah and Michel Aebischer scored their first international goals, and Breel Embolo sealed the win with a stoppage-time strike.
Duah opened the scoring in the 12th minute, and Aebischer doubled the lead with a long-range strike just before halftime. Barnabas Varga pulled one back for Hungary in the 66th minute, but Embolo’s late goal secured the win for Switzerland.
This victory marks a great start for Switzerland in a group that includes hosts Germany and Scotland. They will face Scotland next on Wednesday, while Hungary takes on Germany the same day.
The win was a testament to Switzerland’s teamwork and strategy, putting aside any rumors of a rift between coach Murat Yakin and his players. Captain Granit Xhaka played a key role in the match, and his influence was evident throughout the game.
With this win, Switzerland aims to replicate their successful run in Euro 2020, where they reached the quarterfinals.
