Attack and defense, or light and shadow in the Swiss Under-21 team. Up front, there he demonstrated his great potential. Andi Zeqiri, Jérémy Guillemenot and Noah Okafor were especially enthusiastic about playing in the first half.
Slovaks often only knew what to do with fouls. This was also the case in the 8th minute, when Kristian Vallo put the escaped guillemenot into the penalty area: Zeqiri used the due penalty to give an early lead.
Slovaks with a dream of connecting
After a brief bear market, in which Switzerland had given guests a bit more space, the attack machine resumed. Okafor’s 2-0 win in the 36th minute was the logical consequence.
However, on defense, the national team acted erratically and out of focus at times. In the 41st minute it was a shame: Jasper van der Werff unpacked the hard leg. Lubomir Tupta made excellent use of the free kick that followed.
