Switzerland will also participate in the Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in early 2023. Fabienne Humm, who came off the bench in extra time, scored for Switzerland in the 121st minute in Zurich in the 2-1 winning goal on Tuesday night against Wales and caused great applause among 7803 Letzigrund fans.
Humm, who had effectively declared his international career over in 2017, capped off a nerve-wracking match. Rhiannon Roberts put the Welsh women ahead in the 19th minute, PSG star Ramona Bachmann equalized in the 45th minute.
Missed penalties and goals disallowed
In the second half Ana Maria Crnogorcevic missed a penalty for the hosts. After many arguments and two goals denied, the 35-year-old Humm has finally become the famous protagonist in extra time. Logistics employee at FC Zurich, who often has vacation time for his national team appointments.
And thanks to Humm, the Swiss Football Association, which is currently looking for a new manager – Nils Nielsen has announced his departure – and has applied to host EM 2025, is sending a team only for the second time in its history to a Women’s World Cup.
