Switzerland furiously launched a fight for a new participation in the World Cup, deepening the crisis of Bulgarian football at the "Vasil Levski" stadium. Switzerland won 3:1, in a match led by Montenegrin international referee Nikola Dabanović.

The visitors already had a three-goal advantage in the 13th minute, because after Embola's goal in the 7th minute, Šaćiri added two assists, and Haris Seferović scored in the 10th minute and Zuber three minutes later.

Kiril Despodov brought hope to the Bulgarians in the first minute of the resumption, but the local players did not have the quality to do anything more, so they showed that they are outsiders in Group C, in which Italy is the first favorite.

And Denmark justified the role of favorite in Israel and celebrated with 2:0. Martin Braithwaite scored in the 13th minute on an assist from Jonas Wind, who set up the final score in the 67th minute.

Israel did have periods of good play, especially at the beginning of the continuation when English referee Craig Poussen made a couple of controversial decisions to the detriment of the hosts. Together with Austria, Denmark is the biggest favorite to win in Group F.
