After a resounding victory – into a painful reality: Switzerland crushed Lithuania Sports
On a cool evening, the Swiss party in Vilnius wants 31 minutes, when Xherdan Shaqiri raised the corner, and the head of the powerfully fasted Breelis Embolo sent a message to the gate of Ernestas Šetkus.
The Lithuanians had to search the network for the second time in the 42nd minute. Fabianas Schaeris sent a wonderful pass from the deep, and Renato Steffenas threw more over E.Šetkus, who was left behind.
Until the break and such a result could not be maintained. The last first minute of the quarter after the corner B.Embolo found such a penalty area again and the result has already become crushing – 3: 0.
After the break, the fourth ball fell into the Lithuanian goal – Mario Gavranovičius hit the head of the referee.
