Switzerland secured a 2-0 victory against Algeria in the World Cup round of 32 in Vancouver on July 3, 2026. Breel Embolo opened the scoring for Switzerland just 10 minutes into the match, followed by Dan Ndoye's goal shortly after halftime. The match was held at BC Place, which saw a smaller crowd and festive atmosphere compared to recent matches in Seattle, attributed in part to the weather and the absence of the host Canadian team. Switzerland will next face the winner of the Colombia-Ghana match for a place in the quarterfinals.
