Kwadwo Duah scored the opening goal in the match after Michel Aebischer’s assist in the 12th minute. The referee ruled the goal as an offside, but after a VAR review, the goal stood. In the last minute of the 1st half, Bologna midfielder Michel Aebischer doubled the Swiss’ lead.
However, Hungary played better in the 2nd half, and Barnabas Varga gave the Magyars hope as he scored in the 66th minute after Dominik Szoboszlai’s assist.
In the last minute of the match, Hungary tried everything to tie the result, and they risked that led to a huge mistake in the extra time and Monaco forward Breel Embolo scored a very beautiful goal in the 93rd minute to secure the triumph for Switzerland.
A first international goal for Kwadwo Duah ⚽✨
