Switzerland beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 4-1, top Group B in World Cup

The hype around Johan Manzambi will only heighten after his star turn from the substitutes’ bench helped Switzerland out of a hole and get their tournament truly up and running.

The 20-year-old managed to excel for Freiburg in their comprehensive Europa League final defeat against Aston Villa last month and, with 73 minutes played here and three minutes after coming on as part of a triple substitution, his superb volley put an end to a sterile contest, hooking a right-foot shot into the Bosnia and Herzegovina net.

Switzerland finished the match with 27 shots to Bosnia-Herzegovina's eight, an overwhelming statistical dominance that translated into precisely one goal — a familiar story for a team that had already tormented itself against Qatar with 26 attempts and just one converted chance.
