The Swiss trust in French power

Exactly four years after the duel at the World Cup in South Africa, Switzerland and Honduras meet in Brazil - on the same date, June 25.

Then it was 0:0, and now that result does not guarantee anything for the Swiss, while Honduras, which only has a theoretical chance to pass, will surely be eliminated with that outcome.

"Everything is in our hands. We still have a good chance to go through," said Switzerland coach Otmar Hitzfeld, who clearly believes that France will not lose to Ecuador.

But the question is how his team will react tonight just a few days after the flood against the French (2:5).

"It was a gloomy day for us. We simply weren't able to show everything we can. It's not our true face," Hitzfeld said.

Honduras' chances for the round of XNUMX would be "activated" only if they win tonight by at least four points. Then the porch of France was waiting...

"We will fight until the end, that's the only thing left for us," said Honduran forward Carlos Costli, who scored the first goal for this national team at the World Cup since 1982 against Ecuador.

The duel between Switzerland and Ecuador starts at 22 p.m.
