Switzerland defeated Algeria 2-0 in the round‑of‑16 on 2 July 2026, securing their first knockout victory since 1938.
Johan Manzambi, the 20‑year‑old forward from SC Freiburg, took the ball down the right flank and delivered a precise cross for Breel Embolo to finish the opening goal.
Dan Ndoye added a second just 48 seconds after the restart of the second half, effectively sealing the win.
Switzerland’s progression to the quarter‑finals will likely shorten their odds, while Algeria’s elimination will see their odds disappear from the market.
