Please tune in for the live commentary of the three remaining games of the FIFA World Cup later tonight on Sportskeeda.
Switzerland have recorded a narrow 1-0 win over Cameroon in their FIFA World Cup opener. Shaqiri picked up the assist as Cameroon-born striker Embolo scored early on in the second half to give the European team the decisive lead.
Cameroon failed to reproduce their energy and attacking flair from the first half and the early setback of conceding just three minutes after the break pushed them on the backfoot.
Yet another game at the FIFA World Cup remains goalless at half-time. Switzerland came closest to breaking the deadlock as Akanji's header lacked the proper contact and went wide. Cameroon had the better share of chances though and looked dangerous on the break. Yann Sommer was certainly the busier of the two keepers.
Cameroon are winless in their last four games across all competitions and played out 1-1 draws against Jamaica and Panama earlier this month.

No surprises in the starting XIs of either team as Yann Sommer starts in the goal for Switzerland and big names like Xherdan Shaqiri, Granit Xhaka, and Breel Embolo headline the squad for the Rossocrociati.
Andre Onana starts in the goal for Cameroon while Karl Toko Ekambi and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting lead the attacking department.
They were eliminated in the group stage itself in the 2010 and 2014 editions. They did not qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
They have qualified for the knockout stage in the last two editions of the competition, though they were eliminated from the round of 16 on both occasions.
