Euro 2016: Switzerland 0-0 France - 5 talking points

4) Game peters away in the second half

Even the introduction of Payet could not get France a goal

After an attacking first half, the game understandably lost its tempo in the latter 45 minutes. A draw suited both teams – France topped the group while their opponents made it to the knockout stages of the Euros for the first time in their history.

Dimitri Payet’s introduction temporarily restored some of the first half energy as he hit the crossbar from a Moussa Sissoko cross, but there was very little going on apart from that. Switzerland would predictably have come off the pitch the happier of the two teams, as they managed to hold one of the tournament’s favourites to a draw.
