Switzerland 1-0 Cameroon

Embolo scored just three minutes into the second half, but he refused to celebrate because Cameroon was his country of birth. In the end, his goal helped Switzerland get off to a 1-0 victory over Cameroon. Switzerland have won both of their World Cup games against African teams in their history, after beating Togo 2–0 in the group stage of the 2006 World Cup. At the same time, Switzerland have also enjoyed an unbeaten run in their last six World Cup games (3 wins, 3 draws), and the last time they lost their World Cup opening game was in 1966, when they lost 5-0 to Germany, 56 years ago.
