Switzerland faced their first defeat of the marquee event against Brazil on Monday. The way they lost the game will force them to revisit their strategy. Surprisingly, they went down without taking a single shot on target. Here, we rate their players out of 10:
GK: Yann Sommer (6) - The goalkeeper made some key saves in the match.
RB: Silvan Widmer (6) - Did well to unsettle Vinicius Jr. in the early phase of the match.
CB: Manuel Akanji (7) - Was solid defensively and took good positions throughout the game.
CB: Nico Elvedi (7) - Elvedi did well to hold the Brazilian attack up to a great extent.
LB: Ricardo Rodriguez (6) - Hesitated a bit to join the attack even when there wasn't a reason to stay behind.
DM: Remo Freuler (6) - Shown great spirit and energy to depower the Brazilian midfield. But as the game progressed, his impact reduced.
DM: Granit Xhaka (6) - Was instrumental in keeping the midfield busy and unsettled the opponents with immense pressure.
RM: Fabian Rieder (6) - The inexperienced looked a bit uncomfortable even though he did well. Sometimes he went over aggressive.
AM: Djibril Sow (5) - A couple of few good runs but didn't get any desired results.
LM: Ruben Vargas (5) - Couldn't leave enough impact on the game. Should've created some threats.
ST: Breel Embolo (5) - Tried hard but couldn't do enough against a tight Brazilian defence.
