Cameroon-born Breel Embolo's goal helped Switzerland register a win in a Group G clash at the Al Janoub Stadium in Qatar on Thursday.
The first half was goalless but Embolo put Switzerland ahead just two minutes into the second half. What a brilliant start for Switzerland.
Embolo refused to celebrate the goal that came against his birthplace. It was a lovely cross from Xherdan Shaqiri and Embolo made no mistake. The shot was the first one on target for Switzerland, reports Reuters.The 25-year-old striker, who was born in Yaounde but raised in Basel, stood still with an apologetic frown on his face after he scored while the Switzerland players celebrated around him.
Cameroon's streak of losses at World Cup finals tournaments extended to eight games dating back to 2002.
