Switzerland earned its first win of the 2026 World Cup with a stunning 4-1 victory over Bosnia on Thursday night in Los Angeles. For 74 minutes, the match remained scoreless despite Bosnian control at times and several missed chances on both sides.
The game exploded after the 75th minute. Johan Manzambi, who had just come on, opened the scoring, and six minutes later Bosnia's Tarik Muharemovic was sent off with a straight red card for a foul on Breel Embolo near goal. From there, the match opened up and Switzerland ran away with it.
Ruben Vargas doubled the lead, Manzambi completed his brace, and Bosnia briefly pulled one back through Armin Music. Granit Xhaka then sealed the result from the penalty spot. Five goals were scored in about 20 minutes, turning a tight contest into a lopsided Swiss win.
The match was played at a lively stadium in Los Angeles, and the report highlighted the dramatic finish after a long goalless spell. Switzerland now has its first victory of the tournament, while Bosnia was left to rue a collapse after the red card.
