Switzerland 1–1 Qatar
For eighty-nine minutes this was a procession. Breel Embolo's early penalty, twenty-six shots, ten corners, an expected-goals line of 3.2 to 0.6 — Switzerland did everything but kill the game, and in this tournament that sentence tends to end badly. It ended with Miro Muheim turning into his own net in the ninetieth, a win collapsing into a point, and a Qatar goalkeeper who had already made five saves being mobbed like a hero. Switzerland were the better side. It won't help. They have to start burying these.

Switzerland 4–1 Bosnia and Herzegovina
For seventy-three minutes this was a tight, goalless arm-wrestle. Then Manzambi found a way through, and once Bosnia lost Muharemovic to a red card the game broke open. Vargas, Manzambi again and a Xhaka penalty turned a slender lead into a 4-1 rout in the closing stretch. The expected-goals line, 2.01 to 0.24, says Switzerland were the better side long before the scoreboard agreed. Proof, if it were needed, that you never turn this one off early.

Switzerland 2–1 Canada
Switzerland were second best for long stretches and won anyway. Canada had thirteen shots to their six, seven on target to four, and the better of the expected goals at 1.27 to 1.06 — and still left Vancouver with nothing. The game turned in a ruthless second-half spell: Ruben Vargas at the restart, Johan Manzambi soon after, and a two-goal cushion built almost from nowhere. Jonathan David pulled one back, but a goalkeeper with six saves saw it out. Take your chances, trust your keeper; some wins look exactly like this.

Switzerland 2–0 Algeria
Switzerland did not need the ball to break Algeria, only their chances. Breel Embolo struck inside ten minutes, Dan Ndoye added a second right after the restart, and from there the Swiss defended a lead they thoroughly merited. Algeria saw more of the play but Switzerland created the danger — an expected-goals line of 2.56 to 0.73 tells the story of who was sharper. A clinical, front-foot performance from a side quietly building momentum. Into the last sixteen.

Switzerland 0–0 Colombia
Switzerland survived. Colombia were the better side across two hours — more threat, more shots, the clearer chances — but could not find a way past a Swiss team content to defend and back themselves in the lottery. Goalless through extra time, it went to penalties, and Switzerland held their nerve to win the shootout four to three. Not pretty, and they will know it, but knockout football pays out on penalties as readily as on open play. Switzerland are through to the last eight.

Friendship blends realized national co-starts with a club-chemistry bonus, so a settled XI and a club-spine squad both score high. Near 100 the total eases so the most-settled squads stay separated rather than all tying out. Gold lines trace the spine: teammates who share a club right now.
