After the tie, Swiss goes to the round of 16 as second in group A.
The Swiss managed to close the spaces for Germany practically from the beginning and Julian Nagelsmann’s team found it difficult to find their way into the opponent’s area.
Except for an overflow by Jamal Musiala in the 2nd minute – which ended with a cross into the area in which Schär avoided Ilkay Güngogan’s shot – there was little he could offer Germany near Yann Sommer’s goal.
In the 17th minute Robert Andrich seemed to break the deadlock by scoring with a mid-range shot but referee Daniele Orsato, after consulting the VAR images, annulled the goal due to a previous foul by Musiala on Schär.

The income of Füllkrug and the departure of Musiala and Wirtz, were a declaration of intentions. Attempts to reach the ball had failed and we had to look for crosses into the area, where the Dortmund striker was waiting.
The crosses took a while to arrive, but towards the end (92nd minute) Raum found the formula from the left wing with a cross that found Füllkrug’s head for him to send the ball into the back of the net.
