Switzerland hit 4 times in the final 17 minutes to beat Bosnia 4-1 in their World Cup clash

For over 70 minutes, Switzerland and Bosnia were locked in a tense stalemate. But the game turned dramatically when Johan Manzambi broke the deadlock with a superb finish in the 73rd minute.

Moments later, Bosnia’s Tarik Muharemović was sent off for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity, leaving his side vulnerable, Softfootball understands.

Ruben Vargas quickly doubled Switzerland’s lead, before Manzambi added his second to put the result beyond doubt. Bosnia salvaged some pride in stoppage time when Ermin Mahmic scored a stunning volley — his first international goal — but Granit Xhaka’s late penalty capped off a dominant Swiss finish.

The victory gave Switzerland their first points of the tournament and showcased their attacking depth, while Bosnia were left to rue missed chances and the costly red card.

earlier today Czechia were held to a 1-1 draw by South Africa in their 2026 FIFA World Cup Group A clash
