The Switzerland vs Bosnia and Herzegovina match experienced a late goal-scoring entertainment, where Switzerland thrashed the UEFA opponents by 4-1 to secure crucial three points.
Johan Manzambi (74’ and 90’) scored two goals for Switzerland, while Rubén Vargas (84') and Granit Xhaka (90’+7’) added one goal each. Meanwhile, Ermin Mahmic (90’+3’) scored a consolation goal for Bosnia and Herzegovina, who fought with 10 men from the 80th minute. In the 80th minute, Bosnian defender Tarik Muharemovic received a direct red card for a foul outside the box.
80’: Tarik Muharemovic (Bosnia and Herzegovina) – Direct Red Card for DOGSO Offence
While the Swiss forward Breel Embolo was approaching the goal, Tarik Muharemovic was desperate to stop and attempted a tackle, which resulted in a poor foul just outside the box. If it had happened inside the box, the penalty would have been awarded with a yellow card to Tarik, but due to the DOGSO (Denying an Obvious Goal-Scoring Opportunity) offence, Switzerland earned a free-kick, and Tarik got an upgraded punishment of a direct red card.
