Switzerland Not Up To It
 
Switzerland vs Honduras
in Bloemfontein.
Switzerland will reach the last 16 if they beat Honduras by two
goals; or earn a point, and Chile beat Spain. Honduras must beat Switzerland by at least
three goals and hope that Spain lose to Chile.
It was a slow start for Switzerland, considering they needed two
goals.
Spain scoring twice in the other game (against Chile) meant
Switzerland only had to score once to send the South Americans home.
Half-time: 0:0
A half-time Swiss substitution saw Hakan Yakin come on for Gelson
Fernandes.
Chile pulled a goal back, forcing Switzerland to score two goals
again. And that never looked like happening.
Final Score:
Switzerland 0 Honduras 0
 Goalscorers:
None.
