When a guy who made his debut for the national team only 11 days ago shakes the net after ten minutes of the European Championship, then you know that the coach has prepared a great surprise for his colleague on the other side...

Switzerland registered its first triumph at Euro 2024, Murat Jakin's men beat Hungary 3:1, and everything started from the 12th minute when he scored against Kvadvo Dua in his second match for the national team.

Under the command of the great Granit Xhaka, "Sajji" controlled the game from the beginning, and at the end of the second half, through Michel Abisher - the guy who was the assistant for the first goal - they took a 2:0 lead.

In the continuation, Marco Rossi's team tried to come back, and somehow "by force" in the 66th minute, they managed to reduce the score to 2:1 when Barnabas Varga scored on Dominik Soboslai's cross..

After that, the Hungarians gave everything to win, but it seems that they were left without it in the first part...

Jakin's boys did not panic, and in the 93rd minute, reserve Brill Embolo put an end to the game when, after a mistake by Vili Orban, he lobbed Peter Gulaci - for 3:1, a big step towards the knockout stage.

Switzerland thus continued its great performances at the European championships, as it lost only one of the last 11 games, not counting the eliminations after penalty-roulette.

The first round of Group A is over - Switzerland and Germany already have a lot to be happy about.
