World Cup 2026: Switzerland overturn Bosnia in a wild finish to win 4-1

Switzerland delivered a spectacular victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina (4-1) at the end of a match that turned completely wild in the final minutes. For over 70 minutes, both teams cancelled each other out in a tightly contested game, marked by few clear chances and great tactical caution.

But everything changed after the 70th minute, turning this clash into a true attacking festival.

Coming off the bench and making an instant impact, Johan Manzambi was the driving force behind the Swiss triumph. The young striker netted a brace and was directly involved in three of the four Swiss goals, tearing apart a Bosnian defense that had looked rock-solid until then.

Switzerland also capitalized on several substitutions made during a hydration break to completely shift the momentum of the match.

The sending-off that changed everything

The decisive moment came in the 80th minute when Bosnian defender Tarik Muharemovic was sent off, leaving his team a man down. From that point, Switzerland took full control, ramping up the tempo and exploiting the extra space.

The final quarter-hour produced an absolutely crazy scenario: five goals were scored after the 70th minute, including three after regulation time. It was an intensity rarely witnessed in the tournament's history.

Switzerland ultimately claimed a 4-1 win, pulling off a fantastic result in their group and temporarily moving to the top of Group B with 4 points.

Nati in a strong position for qualification

Thanks to this success, Switzerland moves closer to the round of 16 and cements their status as favorites in the group. Canada and Qatar will now need to respond to stay in the race.
