▶ National coach Petkovic: “Croatia’s victory was deserved”
The Swiss number 2 is powerless with both goals. In a dangerous situation, however, I wake up in the first half. It does not exude the security of a Yann summer.
Basler does not look good in both goals. The first hit is missing in the middle, the second starts with a bad pass. But he also has his hands full with the tall Bruno Petkovic.
The most experienced player on the Swiss defense. However, the lack of practice in Schär’s matches is noticeable. Some balls do not find a partner. We are used to different things from the Newcastle defender.
Good debut for the young FCZ defender. Does not show nervousness. On the contrary: in the triple chain with Cömert and Schär, it seems safer. Strong in duel and Omeragic gets along very well with Rodríguez.
A difficult debut for the trained right-back. Lotomba seems nervous and inhibited from the start. If Croatia becomes dangerous, it will be through their team, as with the two goals they conceded.
He does a lot of running work, but has little ball action. Fernandes helps defensively, but Sow and Xhaka definitely outshine him.
Show a strong first half. Lead the midfield with Djibril Sow. Reserve an assist for the first goal with a cross to Gavranovic When the Arsenal player is substituted at half-time, the national team increasingly loses access to the center.
The legionnaire from Frankfurt shows an attractive performance. The sow can be found practically everywhere in the field in the first half. Also solve the mistakes made by other players over and over again. He had a tough job in the second half without Xhaka by his side.
How do you know about him. Defensively safe, one or another excursion forward. But it shows that he hasn’t played much in recent weeks due to injury. Closes after 45 minutes.
A largely low-key game from the 29-year-old. However, he plays a strong pass to Gavranovic, who misses Croatian goalkeeper Livakovic. Otherwise, Mehmedi is in a difficult position and leaves after 45 minutes.
He shows a strong game against his parents’ homeland. Collect a lot of balls and skillfully move between the lines. He conceded a great opportunity early on, but soon after he was in the right place in the center of Xhaka and scoring 1-0 in the meantime.
Atalanta’s player replaces Captain Xhaka at halftime. It is clear that the two are not the same type of players. However, more is expected from Freuler, who shows strong performances in Serie A, on the national team.
The Winterthur player replaces Rodriguez at the left outside running back position in the second half. He has had tough duels with Tin Jedvaj. But he offers too many bad passes.
The wing is also replaced after 45 minutes. Vargas brings some momentum to the Swiss offense and can get into the limelight two or three times. The best replacement for the coach of the national team Petkovic.
The ex-st. Galler struggles, but gets useful little balls. He has a good chance to equalize, but he shoots well over the gate.
Get in the game after just over an hour. See little ground against world-class man Marcelo Brozovic. But you can show your strong physique at one point or another.
Too short an effort for an evaluation.
