Switzerland’s national football team has made history by defeating reigning champions Italy 2-0 in the Euro 2024 tournament, advancing to the quarter-finals for only the second time in their history.
Murat Yakin’s well-prepared team outplayed Italy, with goals from Remo Freuler and Ruben Vargas securing the victory.
Despite Italy’s changes, including the introduction of Nicolo Fagioli, they failed to impress, while Switzerland’s energetic performance earned them a deserved win.
Granit Xhaka shone, controlling the midfield, and Switzerland’s confidence grew as they pulled off their best display yet.
Italy’s Gianluigi Donnarumma made notable saves, but couldn’t prevent Switzerland’s victory.
This win marks Switzerland’s first win against Italy since 1993, and they will face England or Slovakia in the next round.
