Commentary

A remarkable finale to an otherwise tepid match sees Switzerland race away to a 4-1 win in Los Angeles, where 10-man Bosnia-Herzegovina are ultimately well beaten. The top seeds in Group B move onto four points from two games, but only thanks to the intervention of some second-half substitutes. After arriving from the bench, Vargas and Manzambi sparked a late siege that finally created the opening goal, then saw Muharemovic receive his marching orders, before Switzerland finished with a real flourish. Both players were involved in the first three goals - with Manzambi netting two and Vargas the other - before captain Xhaka stepped up to convert a last-minute penalty. There was also a late Bosnian 'consolation', as Mahmic hammered home soon after leaving the bench. By the full-time whistle, Yakin's men had created 2.01 xG, while Bosnia-Herzegovina produced just 0.24 from five attempts. That ends their nine-game unbeaten streak, leaving them potentially needing maximum points from their final group fixture against Qatar. Meanwhile, Switzerland are well placed to progress ahead of next week's meeting with co-hosts Canada. That's all from L.A, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

PENALTY FOR SWITZERLAND! When Bosnia-Herzegovina fail to clear their lines, Sow tries to seize on a loose ball inside the box, but Memic lunges in and upends him. The referee doesn't hesitate before pointing towards the spot!

GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! WHAT A HIT BY MAHMIC! Just moments after leaving the bench, the substitute slams an unerring volley past Kobel and into the back of the net!
