The Swiss have four points in Group A, as well as the second Wales, who lost to Italy in a 0: 1 match. However, the charges of coach Vladimír Petkovice have a worse score than the island team, so in the third place they have to wait for the results of the remaining five groups. The four best teams from third places will advance to the round of 16.
The Turks entered the match actively and scored four shooting attempts in the first five minutes. Sommer checked Sommer the most, but his shot from the limit of the lime, the Swiss goalkeeper set off. In the sixth minute, however, it struck on the other side. Seferovic takes the ball after the penalty area and from the turn with a cross shot he hit exactly to the bar of Cakir’s goal.

The Turks in the opening half often tried their luck from a medium distance, after a quarter of an hour of play, Sommer, an active Müldür, really stretched. After 26 minutes, Shaqiri put the ball on a plate for him and instead of hitting it with his right foot it cannoned of his left shin wide of the goal.

Shaqiri was the first Swiss to score at four major championships in a row and could immediately add another hit. The 29-year-old Liverpool midfielder advanced on Cakir alone, but his next attempt with his right hand, this time Cakir kicked off the three poles. The attractive first half could have ended after a big solo over three defending players Müldür, but Sommer confirmed his excellent performance.
The Swiss did not relax even after the change of sides. Embolo could have added a second goal in the tournament, but his exact shot from an angle Cakir neutralized with a great reflexive intervention, as well as Seferovic’s opportunity. At the time of the greatest pressure, the choice of the Helvetic Cross paradoxically collected. With 62 minutes played, Kahveci nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar.

The “no defense” match continued and six minutes later the Swiss led again by two goals. At the end of a quick counterattack was Shaqiri, who expanded his balance at this year’s EURO to two hits and one assist. In front of the open gate, he was passed by the outpost Zuber, who was credited with assistance with all three Sunday goals of the Swiss team.
Petkovic’s charges wanted to balance the previous defeat 0: 3 with Italy and achieve at least a balanced score in the table, but Xhaka hit the bar from the direct kick at the greatest opportunity. The Swiss finished the group with four points and a score of 4: 5. As at the 1996 championship, the Turks did not score a point and with a score of 1: 8 they showed the fifth worst performance in the history of the EURO in the basic group.
