Ruben Vargas` assist and goal paved the way for Switzerland`s 2-0 victory over titleholder Italy in the Euro 2024 last 16 at Berlin Olympia stadium late on Saturday.
Switzerland controlled possession and pressed Italy onto the back foot but still Murat Yakin`s team had to wait until the 24th minute before Breel Embolo`s effort forced goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma into action.
The Nati eventually broke the deadlock with 37 minutes played when Vargas` cutback pass found Remo Feulner, who made no mistake and tapped home past Donnarumma, reports Xinhua.
