Lichtsteiner got away with that, that should have been a penalty.

Albania unlucky not to have a penalty there?

Lichtsteiner did have his arms wrapped around the striker.

When the Albanian Defender pulled the Swiss guy's Shorts and then followed up by hacking him down, could he have been shown 2 Yellow Cards for that incident?

Fantastic save by Sommer!

The Albanian could not have timed his run better if he'd tried.

not the most impressive performance by the swiss here, playing against arguably the worst team in the tournament and against 10 men for all of the second half

and albania really should be on level terms with that penalty they had turned down or that 1on1 miss

Shaqiri has been crap.
And a bit dirty in a sneaky way. Grown to dislike him in this match.

------------

Great chance! Albania only got themselves to blame here. Switzerland unimpressive.

Embolo looks decent. Good potential.

That should have been two yellows, the ref bottled it.

Some good goalkeeping in this game..

Or bad finishing!

Albania certainly not overawed.

Both goalies have been excellent

Albania have some fantastic passers, from what I've seen all 4 of these teams are very even (perhaps not on paper)

Boatengs were only half-brothers.
Ahh, so is this the first time then?

Switzerland labour to victory in much the same way that France did yesterday.

Awful finishing from Albania cost them a result. Generally a decent match though I thought.

as the old cliche goes the 3 points are more important than the performance but that was a struggle for a team that were being touted as a possible dark horse to win the tournament

A case of what might have been for Albania.

I think Romania will fancy their chances against both of these sides.

That game was much better than I expected. Albania should've taken a point at the end.
