The Swiss side, who rounded off their Group A campaign with a creditable draw against hosts Germany, cruised past Italy and will now face England in the quarter-finals.

Quarter-Finals

Switzerland have always struggled against the Three Lions. England has lost only three times to the Swiss, and have been undefeated against them since 1981. England have won the last five meetings between 2014 and 2022, their last finals meeting was in Euro 2004, where a Wayne Rooney inspired England beat Switzerland 3-0.

This could be a different story though as Switzerland haven’t lost in their four games at Euro 2024 and they will be feeling confident of causing an upset having already dumped out Italy in the Round of 16 after taking a point off Germany in their final group stage game.

Switzerland began the game well and then held on through a resurgence from Hungary before adding some polish to the scoreline through Breel Embolo in injury time.

Group A – Matchweek Two

Switzerland will have been hoping to secure their spot in the knock-out stages against Scotland but in the end the two teams played out a 1-1 draw in Cologne with Xherdan Shaqiri scoring el Nati’s equaliser in the first-half.

Group A – Matchweek Three

Switzerland have presented Germany with a problem over recent years. El Nati have now gone four games unbeaten against die Mannschaft and they almost won this game. Switzerland were able to take the lead against Germany and it looked, for a long period, that they would top Group A after claiming victory. A 92nd minute goal from Niclas Fullkrug gave Germany the advantage and prestige of topping the group.

Round of 16

For the third European Championship in a row, the defending champions fell at the last 16 stage as Italy were comfortably dispatched by Switzerland on Saturday. Italy head home having shipped more goals (5) in four matches at Euro 2024 than the four they conceded across the entire tournament three years ago. The Swiss, who beat France at this stage in 2021, deservedly march on, with either England or Slovakia awaiting them in the last eight.
