Schalke sets up, Stuttgart converts

Switzerland lived up to their role as favourites in their match-up, beating Gerorgia 2-0. Breel Embolo started the game in front of 54,000 fans in Tiflis. In the 54th minute, Embolo set up the first goal of the game which was turned in by Stuttgart’s Steven Zuber. The preliminary work was done by Embolo, while Zuber was there to collect the long ball and slot it into the far corner. The second goal was scored by Denis Zakaria of Borussia Mönchengladbach (80’). Embolo played 84 minutes in total and was involved in many good offensive moves.

Switzerland play again on Tuesday (26/3). The clash with Denmark is certain to be an interesting match-up for Breel Embolo and his side.
