Switzerland reach FIFAWorldCup knockout round for the third successive tournament after prevailing 3-2 over Serbia, setting up a last 16 showdown with Portugal
Switzerland have reached the World Cup knockout round for the third successive tournament after prevailing 3-2 over Serbia to finish runners-up in Group G and set up a last 16 showdown with Portugal.
Breel Embolo delivered another twist in an absorbing opening period by pulling Switzerland side level just before the break, while Remo Freuler scored three minutes after the restart to restore their one-goal advantage again. Serbia enjoyed a spell of pressure after that early scare, with Nikola Milenkovic heading wide from Dusan Tadic's corner before Andrija Zivkovic took aim from outside the penalty area and rattled the left post with a powerful effort.
Fulham frontman Mitrovic headed in Tadic's cross to deservedly draw Serbia level six minutes later. Tadic was involved again and slipped the ball through to Vlahovic, who steered a low shot past goalkeeper Gregor Kobel to complete the Serbian turnaround.
