Barnabas Varga gave the team hope by guiding Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai’s brilliantly-weighted cross beyond Yann Sommer with 30 minutes left on the clock.The 27-year-old Duah was in fine form in the recently concluded season, scoring 13 goals in 24 games for Ludogorets in the Bulgarian top flight.

Substitute Breel Embolo secured the three points with a lovely lobbed finish over Peter Gulacsi, ensuring Switzerland’s strong start in the tournament.With this win, Switzerland sit second in Group A, just behind tournament hosts Germany, who thrashed Scotland 5-1. Meanwhile, Scotland remains at the bottom of the group after their heavy defeat.The Swiss team’s performance, highlighted by Duah’s impressive debut goal, has set a positive tone for their Euro 2024 campaign as they look forward to building on this victory in their upcoming matches.
