Switzerland storms forward

Switzerland has acquired a dream situation in Sweden’s World Cup qualifier.

The Swiss went on knock again in their second match.

At the same time as Sweden had major problems away against Kosovo, Switzerland continued on its beaten path. Switzerland, who won his qualifying premiere against Kosovo by 4-0, received Slovenia on Monday night.

Against Kosovo, Switzerland scored four goals already in the first half and it went almost as well in the first half against Slovenia.

After two corners, Switzerland led 2-0 and then came the 3-0 goal.

This time, too, Switzerland turned off the beat in the second half, which became speechless.

Leads the group

With Switzerland victory against Slovenia and Sweden’s loss against Kosovo, Blågult is far from first place in qualifying group B.

After two of six matches played, Sweden is five points behind Switzerland.

Only the group goes directly to the World Cup and the group two can try to get to the championship via a sneaky playoff game where 4 out of 16 teams move on.
