At the moment, Switzerland will incredibly qualify for first place in Group A just ahead of Germany, who will therefore meet the second-placed team in Group B, Italy, in the round of 16. However, the challenge is still very open: Nagelsmann has several solutions available to overturn the result.21:51
Germany plays the match, but Switzerland with great strength and organization creates huge problems for the hosts in the building phase.

Yellow card for Switzerland: Ndoye is booked for a bad tackle on Rudiger.21:25
Switzerland is pressing hard, forcing Germany to return to Neuer often during the build-up phase. After quite a few back passes, Kroos played brilliantly to make room for the Germans.21:24
Managing the resumption of German activity is always difficult, but Switzerland is back very on schedule, avoiding risks via central routes for the time being. However, the situation on the outside lanes is more complicated, especially the left lane where Wirtz finds space to make an impact.21:21
Goal disallowed for Andrich! The Leverkusen midfielder was denied inside the Swiss penalty area, as he gathered and shot from 25 metres: the rebound betrayed Sommer, who made a brilliant effort with the ball going wide.

The teams are on the field at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt during the playing of the national anthem, and the match between Switzerland and Germany will begin soon.20:52
