It did not last long, and the series of goals of the meeting opened Serbian striker Aleksander Mitrovich.
Switzerland has been ineffective in the first half, but they started the second half sharply with Arsenal midfielder Granit Jaka, who equated the outcome. The Swiss team was not enough, since in the last few minutes to seal the dramatic victory, Gerdan Shaqiri scored in the final minutes of the match, “reported. Square” Transmission Periscope.
After a dramatic match at Kaliningrad Stadium, there are five things we have learned.
1. Mitrovic's relaunch continues
His experience in Tianeside has been out of form, even though his talent was expected to be expressed before reaching Neecastle, but his potential has not been realized during his three-year stay with the club and has so far failed to shine St. James Park.
However, after a six - month loan to Fulham, the attacker helped the Western London club drive it to the English premiere.
He is already on the rise after the match, for his national he has scored 18 goals in the 26 meetings he has held.

2. Defence aging may have cost Serbia
Having among them the oldest protection, especially the goalkeeper and main defender have made 300 presentations for their country with the only Nikola Milenkovic under the age of 30.
This has influenced young Swiss attacker Gerdan Shaqiri to be unstoppable in a defence that has already entered the retirement phase.
3. Seferovic fights
Haris Seferovic was mostly anonymous in the first part of the game before he put his authority in this match.
Within 30 minutes of the meeting, he sent two passes to players Fabian Schar and Maneuel Akanji to jeopardise Serbia's gate.
The first part of both teams burst 19 hits, marking a record, but Seferovic had failed to hit a single shot to launch towards the Serbian gate.
This led Swiss coach Vladimir Petkovic to replace him with Mario Gavranovac, which brought refreshment to the Swiss team.

4. Another Artefact by Behram
Valon Behram formed the main axis in the heart of Switzerland's midfield, performing a sensuous performance that he had shown in his first game against Brazil.
Against Brazil, the 34-year-old did not allow Neymar and European champions to breathe, for a very commendable draw against one of the favourites to win the entire trophy.

5. Serbia's late chapter leaves World Cup campaign at odds
Serbia will then face Brazil, while Tete's men have been sensitive to their opening group meetings, they boast even a draw against Serbs.
A Kosta Rica victory over Switzerland, and on the other hand, the victory of Serbs against Brazil could qualify Serbia in the next radin. /Periscopi/
