Monday, 7 July 2025 06:30

Swiss fans breathed a sigh of relief last night after winning their second Euro match against Iceland 2-0.

After losing their opening match, it was a must win for the team to keep their hopes alive of progressing out of the group stages.

Around 30,000 fans packed the Wankdorf stadium in Bern – thousands marched through the city before the match.

Iceland are now out after losing their 2 first games.

Switzerland’s next match is against Finland in Geneva on Thursday. A draw will be sufficient for second place in the group.
