Switzerland had 26 shots and one very long flight home

Twenty-six shots. Qatar managed six. And still Switzerland trudged off with a 1-1 draw, undone deep in stoppage time by an equaliser that handed Qatar their first ever World Cup point. Embolo got the Swiss on the board that night. With 24 goals in 86 caps, he is the man they will lean on once more.

Both teams began Group B with a draw, so victory at SoFi Stadium feels close to mandatory for either nation's knockout dreams. Granit Xhaka is the engine that simply has to hum. Fresh from steering Sunderland to Premier League safety, the captain is charged with prising open Bosnia's defensive wall.

And that wall won't crumble easily. Bosnia, back at the World Cup for the first time since 2014, have drawn all five of their last outings — yet Jovo Lukic's strike in the opener proved they still bite back. The bookmakers make Switzerland strong favourites all the same. Patience, not panic, will be the real test.
