World Cup 2018: 3 things Switzerland did right against Serbia

#2 Running rampant in the 2nd half

Xhaka equalized in the 52nd minute of the game

Stephen Lichsteiner and Co. were put under immense pressure through the first half of the game but managed to hang in without conceding after the opening goal. The fact that they got their first corner in the 25th minute, points to their dominance, or lack thereof, in the initial chunk of the match.

Half-time came like a blessing for Switzerland, as it gave them a chance to reassemble and get themselves in order. It worked wonderfully for them, as they scored an equalizer in the seventh minute of the second half when Xhaka shot a rocket from his left foot from 25 yards out.

Thereafter, the pendulum of momentum swung towards the Swiss, as they created consistent pressure and looked more potent on the attack. It was Shaqiri who scored the winner in the 90th minute of the match, as he slalomed past the Serbian defence to make his team the first side to come from behind to clinch a victory in the tournament.
