In the first half there is no shot in his area, he is only in focus once. In a fist defense, he does not show the best figure and almost maneuvers the ball towards his own goal. However, the referee decides on the foul, all the excitement is in vain. For the first time he was tested properly in the 64th minute with a Hudson-Odoi free kick, clearing for a corner without problems. In the 93rd minute, the pulse quickened again, but the Dijon Ligue 1 legionnaire confidently ripped the dangerous flank out of the air.
Lotomba, who has already played for A-Nati and is a regular at Nice, has his rivals under control. In the second half he also goes on the offensive again and again.
In the 62nd minute he committed an unnecessary foul around the age of sixteen (the English would never have caught the ball). He gets yellow because he is the last defender. The next free kick poses no major problems for Racioppi. In the final minutes, the 23-year-old Sion pro leaves a positive impression. More than once he anticipated the stalking and bought the guts of the English attackers.
A very solid overall performance from the internationally proven YB professional. Only once does he seem quite old: In the 20th minute, Hudson-Odoi surrounds him, but after his excellent individual performance, he aims beyond the gate. It is by far the best chance the English have in the game.
In the standings, the FC St. Gallen defender only played three games, against England he is in the starting lineup. In the first half he was a bit nervous, he made two stick errors and was beaten on one occasion or another. Nice to see his cross on Zeqiri after half an hour, shortly before the break, his shot being blocked after a strong Swiss corner kick. In the second round it is noticeable shortly after the break, anticipates strongly, grabs the ball and starts a counterattack. Defensively more unstable than his supporting players, he puts some accents on offense.
In the 15th minute he intercepts a disastrous pass from the Englishman and immediately throws Zeqiri, who does not benefit from it. Toma, who plays for Genk in Belgium, is also showing a good performance. Shortly before the break, he won the penalty area and took a corner (the Swiss requested a penalty, but the whistle was legitimately absent). Then he makes the corner himself and plays the leather with centimeter precision on the rear of the independent Muheim, an interesting variation. In the 50th minute he hits the post from a promising end position.
The 22-year-old FCZ player goes unnoticed in the game, but contributes to the successful start of the Euro. He does a good job and works for the team. Without a doubt, due to his somewhat more defensive role, he is less able to shine than his peers.
The 19-year-old is wide awake from the first minute. Jankewitz is robust in duels, complicated, agile and safe with the ball. The Southampton Legionnaire also continues to intelligently deliver the routes of the passes. Wonderful how he lets two Englishmen run into the void with a body deception in the 22nd minute, but the next pass ends up in no man’s land. At minute 87 you have to shake briefly like a fan, because it smells like yellowish red. But the referee’s whistle remains silent and VAR will not be used in the U21 European Championship.
The 20-year-old can establish one or another accent. In the 28th minute he forces Ramsdale to stop with his long-range shot. Ten minutes later, he returns to midfield, grabs the ball and throws Toma with a creamy pass. And of course he also has his big moment: in the 77th minute he walks away, shoots his left foot with his right foot, producing an unsustainable arc lamp. 1: 0 for Switzerland! Immediately afterwards, the 20-year-old Legionnaire from Nice will be replaced.
In the first half he does not fall or fall, he does his job calmly. In the 50th minute he shines with an outside foot pass through the penalty area at the Free Shot. That is why he would have deserved help He is replaced in the 66th minute.
In qualifying for the European Championship, he scored nine goals in eight games, against England it is less cold. In the 15th minute he was alone in front of goal, but could not pass the ball to Ramsdale. One hundred percent you just have to do. After half an hour, the Brighton & Hove Albion forward headed over the goal, without the necessary luck, because he is doing everything right. If Switzerland had lost, the 21-year-old would have to try harder. He stands out positively for his tireless fieldwork on the front line, which is also a quality.
The 20-year-old enters the game for Guillemenot in the 66th minute and brings new momentum. In the 73rd minute he cheers up and shoots from the second row, his goalkeeper lets Ramsdale bounce forward, but there is no Swiss to dust off. And then Imeri plays this wonderful pass without looking at Ndoye with the hoe, and it’s 1-0 for Switzerland. Its replacement did not miss the effect.
Mambimbi came into play in the 79th minute for striker Ndoye. There is not much time left to advertise on your own behalf. Valuable how he passes the opponent in the 94th minute, he drops with relative ease and commits a foul. A few valuable seconds thus pass and the English have the possibility of one last attack attempt. However, it is not reproduced long enough to rate it.
Fresh from injury, the U21 captain comes into play for Toma in the 85th minute. He should help keep the score. The plan is working, although Rüegg no longer has to contribute much. Too short to rate.
