Switzerland dominated Bosnia & Herzegovina to run out 4-1 winners in Los Angeles this evening, with the Swiss taking control of Group B and all but securing a place in the last 32 of the World Cup.
All four sides in the group were on one point after the first round of games, but the Swiss have moved top of the group in the second round of fixtures ahead of Canada’s match against Qatar later on.
Substitute Johan Manzambi proved the catalyst for the win as he scored the opener moments after coming on, with a red card for Tarik Muharemovic proving Bosnia’s undoing as the Swiss wrapped up a 4-1 win with three goals in the final 13 minutes to all but seal a place in the knockout rounds.

World Cup 2026 golden boot standings: Lionel Messi, Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe early front-runners
22:40 , Chris WilsonThe race for the golden boot at World Cup 2026 is expected to be fierce, with Lionel Messi, Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland making early statements in their respective bids to finish the tournament at the top of the scoring charts.
Argentina talisman Messi, 38, fired a hat-trick against Algeria to equal Miroslav Klose’s all-time World Cup goalscoring record, while Mbappe and Haaland both notched braces in their opening games.
England skipper Harry Kane will now look to match the pace of his striking rivals as the Three Lions begin their campaign against Croatia on Wednesday. The striker is off to a good start, too, netting a first-half brace in Texas.
If players are tied for goals, the number of assists will determine who ranks higher. If there is still a tie, it comes down to minutes played and the goals-per-minute ratio. Here are the latest 2026 World Cup golden boot standings.

1 - Switzerland - 4pts, GD +
2 - Canada - 1pt, GD 0
3 - Bosnia - 1pt, GD -3
4 - Qatar - 1pt, GD 0
FULL-TIME! Switzerland 4-1 Bosnia
22:05 , Chris WilsonA great result for the Swiss in the end and they certainly deserved the win.
Bosnia dug in deep at times but in the end it wasn’t enough, and the red card was really their undoing.
Switzerland go top of Group B with a deserved win and a solid performance!
FULL-TIME! Switzerland 4-1 Bosnia
22:02 , Chris Wilson
FULL-TIME! Switzerland 4-1 Bosnia
21:59 , Chris WilsonThe referee brings the game to an end and Switzerland have the win that sends them top of Group B for now.
GOAL! Switzerland 4-1 Bosnia (Xhaka, 90 +6')
21:58 , Chris Wilson90 +6 mins
GOAL!
Xhaka steps up and adds a fourth for the Swiss!
PENALTY! Switzerland 3-1 Bosnia
21:57 , Chris Wilson90 +6 mins
PENALTY!
A chance to make it four for the Swiss as Memic scythes down Sow in the area.
GOAL! Switzerland 3-1 Bosnia (Mahmic, 90 +3')
21:56 , Chris Wilson90 +3 mins
GOAL! It’s a stunner from Mahmić as he fires through the crowd from range. Too little too late though.
Switzerland 3-0 Bosnia
21:51 , Chris Wilson90 +1 mins
Into the first of six minutes of added time in LA.
GOAL! Switzerland 3-0 Bosnia ( Manzambi, 90')
21:50 , Chris Wilson90 mins
GOAL! Switzerland wrap it up!
It’s another great move too, with Xhaka threading the through ball to Vargas, who squares it for Manzambi to tap in!
Switzerland 2-0 Bosnia
21:48 , Chris Wilson90 mins
Embolo makes way for Itten and Jaquez comes on for Widmer as the Swiss look to close it out.
Switzerland 2-0 Bosnia
21:47 , Chris Wilson88 mins
Switzerland want a third here, though this time Vasilij collects the cross.
GOAL! Switzerland 2-0 Bosnia (Vargas, 84')
21:45 , Chris Wilson84 mins
GOAL! That will surely be that!
Switzerland have wrapped it up against the 10 men.
There’s some great one-touch passing around the area from Switzerland and it ends up with Embolo, who looks up and squares a pass to Vargas.
The pass is perfectly weighted and Vargas simply has to side-foot low into the far corner with the ‘keeper wrong-footed.
Switzerland 1-0 Bosnia
21:42 , Chris Wilson82 mins
CLOSE! The free-kick is fired at goal but Vasilij punches it away.
The replay of that red card shows the defender got none of the ball, so it’s definitely the correct decision.
RED CARD! Switzerland 1-0 Bosnia
21:41 , Chris Wilson81 mins
It seems it’s been checked and cleared! A clear red if he didn’t get a touch, and in any case he went straight through Embolo to get the ball.
There’s a free-kick from just outside the box for the Swiss.
RED CARD! Switzerland 1-0 Bosnia
21:40 , Chris Wilson80 mins
RED CARD! Muharemović is sent off but did he get a touch on the ball!
Embolo is sent clean through with a lovely through ball and the Bosnian defender slides in but brings him down.
It’ll be checked...
Switzerland 1-0 Bosnia
21:38 , Chris Wilson79 mins
Almost a great one-two at the edge of the box to send Vargas through, but it’s intercepted at the last!
Switzerland want a second to wrap this one up.
Switzerland 1-0 Bosnia
21:37 , Chris Wilson77 mins
Manzambi has only just come on for Ndoye a few minutes ago. That might even be his first touch!
Vargas and Sow have also come on for Rieder and Aebischer.
GOAL! Switzerland 1-0 Bosnia (Manzambi, 75')
21:35 , Chris Wilson75 mins
GOAL! Finally we have an opener!
Unsurprisingly it comes from Switzerland, and it’s a superb goal too.
The cross is clipped in at the second time of asking and it’s headed back out to Manzambi, who crashes a volley into the back of the net via the help of a deflection!
He got a great connection with it and it was probably flying in anyway!
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
21:32 , Chris Wilson72 mins
Back underway in LA. These sides have just over 20 minutes to find a goal here!
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
21:28 , Chris Wilson69 mins
We’re into the second-half drinks break now as Akanji heads away a cross before Kobel makes a decent save from a long-range drive.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
21:25 , Chris Wilson66 mins
A yellow card for Elvedi now as he stops the counter, and Bosnia will have a free-kick from around 25 yards out.
The first delivery is headed away before Rieder clears the follow-up.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
21:23 , Chris Wilson64 mins
Subs for Bosnia as Dzeko and Tahirovic make way for Basic and Bajraktarević.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
21:22 , Chris Wilson63 mins
OFF THE LINE!
Another Swiss combo on the edge of the box almost sees Ndoye get free, but the cross is blocked.
The corner comes in and Embolo sees his deflected header clawed off the line by Vasilj!
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
21:19 , Chris Wilson59 mins
A yellow card for Dedic here as he drags back Ndoye on the counter. Probably worth taking that, as the Swiss play the free-kick short and nothing comes of it.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
21:15 , Chris Wilson56 mins
CLOSE! Oh my word! What a goal that would have been!
The corner goes long and it’s forced back into the box, with Ndoye producing a superb acrobatic effort – with his back towards goal – to direct it on target, but it’s tipped over!
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
21:13 , Chris Wilson53 mins
The Swiss have possession and the ball is flung towards the back post, but Aebischer can only direct a glancing header wide.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
21:11 , Chris Wilson51 mins
Breel Embolo is the lastest Swiss forward to try and make something happen in the Bosnia box, but this one comes to nothing as he’s swarmed by defenders.
Moments later, Ndoye works a bit of space in the area but blasts a low effort too close to the ‘keeper.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
21:07 , Chris Wilson47 mins
The second half has started as the first went, with the Swiss seeing plenty of the ball.
KICK-OFF! Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
21:04 , Chris WilsonThe referee gets us re-started in LA. Surely there’s something more to come from one of these sides?
HALF-TIME! Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
21:04 , Chris WilsonBoth sides are back out in LA, so we’ll be back underway in no time.
HALF-TIME! Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
21:03 , Chris WilsonBoth sets of players are emerging back onto the pitch in LA, so we’ll be underway in no time.
HALF-TIME! Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
21:00 , Chris WilsonNot a great game for the neutral in LA, with clear-cut chances few and far between.
Switzerland were dominant for large parts of the first half but they were unable to unlock a stern Bosnian defence, and they couldn’t press home their advantage.
Meanwhile, Bosnia struggled in parts but looked dangerous on a couple of occasions too, and gave the Swiss a lot to think about at half-time.
It’s anyone’s game at the moment but you’d be backing Switzerland after that first-half showing.
HALF-TIME! Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:55 , Chris WilsonIt’s been a real battle out there so far this evening...
HALF-TIME! Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:49 , Chris WilsonThe referee blows the whistle and the two teams head in level at the break.
It’s the Swiss who have dominated the majority of this game, but Bosnia have held firm for now while having a couple of promising openings of their own.
Will either side be able to press on in the second half?
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:47 , Chris Wilson45 +2 mins
Ndoye is crowded out by three bodies in the box, and he ends up committing the foul. That could be that.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:45 , Chris Wilson45 mins
We’re into three minutes of added time in Los Angeles.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:45 , Chris Wilson44 mins
Another good move from Bosnia after a quick one-two and a first-time pass into the path of Kolasinac, but his cross is blocked.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:42 , Chris Wilson42 mins
Dzeko thinks he has his first real chance of the game as the pass is poked through to him on the edge of the area, but a Swiss body flies in the way of his shot. He’s furious, as he wanted the pass far earlier!
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:40 , Chris Wilson40 mins
Ndoye has been Switzerland’s bright spark so far but this time he loses out, with the winger’s attempted dribble running out of play. He’s been the one trying to make something happen for the Swiss though.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:38 , Chris Wilson38 mins
A shot on target for Bosnia as Memic cuts inside and finds some space before firing a tame effort at Kobel.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:36 , Chris Wilson36 mins
Embolo wins a corner after trying to head a cross back towards goal, and the Swiss remain in the ascendancy here.
Aebischer clips the ball in but tt’s headed away and the Swiss come again, before Ndoye’s cross rebounds back off him for a goal kick.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:33 , Chris Wilson32 mins
That was almost an opening!
Bosnia’s first bit of quality comes from a great one-two on the edge of the Swiss area, before Dzeko’s cross to the back post is narrowly missed by Memic!
Much better from the Bosnians.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:29 , Chris Wilson30 mins
Every time Bosnia do try and get forward it inevitably breaks down due to a poor pass. They’re not in the game at all at the moment.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:28 , Chris Wilson27 mins
Almost a real opening there fro the Swiss but Ndoye misreads Xhaka’s through ball! He’d have been clean through!
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:26 , Chris Wilson25 mins
Back underway in LA! The Swiss have been the better side but there’s been nothing too clear-cut so far.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:24 , Chris Wilson22 mins
Perhaps the first real bit of danger for the Swiss as Freuler arrows a shot narrowly wide.
We head into the first hydration break of the game.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:19 , Chris Wilson18 mins
Bosnia’s first venture forward in a while ends with a scuffed cross (or shot even) by Alajbegovic.
Switzerland are dominating possession and they look dangerous every time they go forward with Ndoye the latest to get into the area far too easily.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:15 , Chris Wilson14 mins
Switzerland are beginning to dominate here, with a good cross into the middle from Rieder narrowly turned away by the defender. Ndoye didn’t read it right!
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:12 , Chris Wilson12 mins
A long ball forward finds Embolo clean through, but he fails to control it to create the shooting chance. He’s flagged offside anyway.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:10 , Chris Wilson10 mins
Better from the Swiss as Ndoye is found in the box before the winger lashes a low effort agains the side-netting.
First sight of goal for either side!
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:09 , Chris Wilson9 mins
Xhaka has his first long-range effort of the day, but it’s deflected behind.
From the corner, another poor delivery fails to beat the first man.
Not a lot of quality on show so far in LA.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:07 , Chris Wilson6 mins
Switzerland’s first corner of the game is cleared out for another.
The second sees a poor delivery cleared, and they’re forced back towards their own goal.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:04 , Chris Wilson4 mins
The Swiss are beginning to get a foothold here, with Xhaka and co. looking confident in possession early on.
Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:02 , Chris Wilson2 mins
An early free-kick from Bosnia forces a corner, and they’ll have the first real chance of the game.
It’s a poor delivery though, and Switzerland eventually clear.
KICK-OFF! Switzerland 0-0 Bosnia
20:00 , Chris WilsonWe’re underway in Los Angeles! One of these sides could take control of Group B this evening, so who will it be?

Switzerland preview
19:48 , Chris WilsonSwizterland’s Word Cup pedigree and experience gives them a colossal advantage over the other three teams in this group. This year’s tournament will be the nation’s 13th appearance, and sixth in a row, almost double that of Canada, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Qatar combined.
Four years ago, the Swiss finished second in Group G just behind Brazil on goal difference before suffering an infamous 6-1 hammering at the hands of Portugal in the round of 16. Despite that ignominious exit, Switzerland recovered to cruise through World Cup qualification topping European qualifying Group B ahead of Kosovo, Slovenia and Sweden. They went unbeaten through their six matches and recored four wins with a positive goal difference of 12 having only conceded twice throughout qualification.
Head coach Murat Yakin has set a high bar of playing “the best World Cup seen from a Swiss team” but they should have no trouble getting through the group stage against their less expereienced opponents. Yakin prefers a 4-2-3-1 system and has selected a squad of experienced and youthful players that can also adapt to the 3-4-3 that saw Switzerland reach the last eigh at Euro 2024.
Line-ups
19:45 , Chris WilsonHere are the starting line-ups for both sides:
Switzerland XI: Kobel; Widmer, Elvedi, Akanji, Rodriguez; Aebischer, Xhaka, Freuler; Rieder, Embolo, Ndoye.
Bosnia XI: Vasilij; Dedic, Muharemovic, Katic, Kolasinac; Memic, Tahirovic, Sunjic, Alajbegović; Demirovic, Dzeko.
Bosnia preview
19:40 , Chris WilsonBosnia & Herzegovina ended a 12-year wait to return to the World Cup when they came through the European qualifying play-offs to secure their place in the competition.
Eden Dzeko is the eye-opening inclusion in the squad and will head to the World Cup for a second time at the age of 40. Dzeko featured in Bosnia’s only other appearance - back in 2014 - with defender Sead Kolasinac the only other member of the squad to also play in that tournament.
He will feature too having scored a crucial 86th minute equaliser against Wales in the play-off round before setting up Haris Tabakovic’s goal against Italy in the play-off final. Both of those games were won on penalties which could prove useful experience should the European side reach the knockout rounds.

Lionel Messi releases statement on father Jorge’s health and criticises media coverage
19:20 , Chris WilsonLionel Messi’s father Jorge is receiving treatment for a health issue, the Messi family has confirmed.
Messi was in tears following his first goal in Argentina’s 3-0 victory over Algeria in their opening World Cup match, in which he scored a hat-trick. The goals drew him level with Miroslav Klose at the top of the all-time World Cup goalscoring list.
Asked why he was emotional, Messi said after the game: “Honestly, completely unrelated to the sport, I went through some difficult, complicated days. I’m grateful to the entire delegation, to my teammates. They were always there for me, as always. They gave me a lot of strength to get through this, and that’s all.”

Empty seats at another World Cup match after ticket price controversy
18:40 , Luke BakerThe World Cup 2026 match between Switzerland and Qatar played out in front of hundreds of empty seats to raise further questions about Fifa’s ticket prices for the tournament.
The Group B clash at the 70,000-capacity Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco on Saturday was the first game to be staged in the United States not involving the co-hosts and it failed to sell out.
While the fixture was always unlikely to be considered ‘in-demand’, pockets of empty seats could be seen clearly throughout the stadium. A 12pm kick-off local time and sweltering temperatures won’t have helped, with Fifa’s go-to excuse of fans being on the concourses rather in their seats potentially having some validity.

Two arrested for peace officer assault at Canada vs Bosnia World Cup match
18:30 , Luke BakerToronto police arrested two men “associated with a Bosnian fan group” during Canada’s 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina at the World Cup last week.
The Toronto Police Service confirmed in a statement that the two men, from Germany and aged 25 and 27, were both arrested and charged for assaulting a peace officer after forces were called to an altercation in the stands at the Toronto Stadium around 2.20pm local time on Friday afternoon.
The Toronto Police Association warned on X: “We’re glad you’re here to enjoy the World Cup but please do so safely.
“Never put your hands on a police officer. They will arrest you. You will be charged. Our holding cells do not have TVs. You will miss the game you came to enjoy.”
Group B is wide open
18:20 , Luke BakerThis match between Bosnia and Switzerland is crucial, with Group B absolutely wide open in this tournament.
Both of the opening matches - Qatar v Switzerland and Bosnia v Canada - ended 1-1, so if one of these teams can grab all three points, they’ll take a giant step towards the knockout stages.
But defeat would leave them on the brink, so there’s plenty on the line.
LAST TIME OUT: The unlikely Southampton influence behind Canada’s World Cup lift-off
18:07 , Luke BakerSouthampton’s public relations department has had a torrid few weeks trying to clean up the internal idiocy of Spygate, but they’re about to get a rare windfall of goodwill from across the Atlantic. Over 3,000 miles west of St Mary’s, Saints have had an inadvertent hand in Canadian history.
Canada are on the board at the World Cup, for the first time ever. They went pointless in Qatar four years ago, just as they did during their World Cup bow at Mexico ‘86. Thanks to Cyle Larin’s late heroics in Toronto, this hoodoo on the biggest stage is over.
One-third of a substitute masterclass from manager Jesse Marsch, Larin came off the bench to cancel out Bosnia and Herzegovina’s first-half opener with a stunning half-volley, instinctively striking across the ball to send it swerving past Nikola Vasilj and into the side-netting. It was a goal fitting of its importance in this country’s footballing history.

LAST TIME OUT: Qatar stun Switzerland late on to snatch first ever World Cup point
18:03 , Luke BakerQatar scored a stoppage-time equaliser to snatch a 1-1 draw with Switzerland in their World Cup Group B opener at Levi’s Stadium.
Breel Embolo’s first-half penalty looked to have been enough to see the Swiss start with a somewhat laboured win, but Miro Muheim headed into his own net, under pressure from Qatar captain Boualem Khoukhi, in injury time to secure the 2022 hosts a first point in the World Cup finals.
The Swiss had plenty of support in Santa Clara, but there appeared to be a number of empty seats as the teams walked out at the 69,000-capacity venue, home of the San Francisco 49ers.
