With goals from Dua, Ebischer and Embolo, Switzerland got off to a good start with a 3-1 win over Hungary in the opening game of Euro 2024 and laid the foundation for qualifying for the knockout rounds.

In Euro 2020, Switzerland reached the quarterfinals, creating the best result in the team's history. After finishing third in their group, Switzerland eliminated France on penalties in the round of 16, but unfortunately they were knocked out by Spain on penalties in the quarter-finals. It is worth mentioning that in the last five international competitions, only Switzerland and France have made it to the knockout round.

In Euro 2024 qualifying, Switzerland have won 4, drawn 5 and lost 1 of 10 games, with the only time they lost away to Romania. Heading into 2024, Switzerland are unbeaten in four games and have conceded just one goal.

Switzerland's form is evident from the fact that they have only lost to Romania in 14 games since 2023. Xhaka pointed out that "Switzerland have the experience and quality to achieve better results. ”

However, for Switzerland and Hungary, the first game of the group stage is a real battle of life and death, and only by defeating their opponents can they grasp the initiative to advance to the knockout stage.

In such a life-and-death battle, experience and strength play a crucial role. In the 13th minute, Dua burst into the box with a single knife and scored with a low shot, and the referee first ruled that Dua was offside, but the video assistant referee finally confirmed that the goal was valid.

In the 45th minute, Ebischer won the ball in front of the penalty area and dribbled horizontally, and then blasted out of the world wave with his right foot, and the ball went straight into the dead corner.

In the 66th minute, Szobosloy made a diagonal pass from the left, and Varga leaned over and headed the goal, 1-2!

In the 93rd minute, Sommer opened his big foot, Orban made a mistake in clearing the header, and Embolo scored with a hanging shot, 3-1!

After the victory over Hungary, Switzerland got off to a flying start at the European Championships and set a series of records.

First, Switzerland extended their winning streak against Hungary to four, with their last defeat coming on 18 November 1998. Secondly, Switzerland extended their unbeaten record against Hungary in the European Championship (including qualifying), with two wins and one draw in three matches.

Fourthly, Switzerland broke the curse of a never-to-win run at the Stade Colón, drawing their previous three matches.

Fifth, Switzerland extended their unbeaten streak in 2024 with three wins and two draws in five matches. Sixth, after the 2022 World Cup, Switzerland once again got off to a good start in international competitions with a 1-0 win over Cameroon.

Seventh, Yakin became the first Swiss player in history to play in the European Championship in his coaching career. Eighth, Ebischer became the first Swiss player in history to make a single pass in the European Championship.
