Embolo named man of the match after Switzerland beat Algeria

Breel Embolo was named man of the match after Switzerland beat Algeria 2-0 in the round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup.

The Switzerland forward opened the scoring and played a central role in a result that secured his team's place in the last 16 as the 13th side to do so.

Switzerland controlled the tie and finished with a second goal to seal the win, with Embolo's contribution enough to earn the post-match award. Algeria were left to chase the game after falling behind, but Switzerland managed the contest from there and advanced comfortably.
