Next Match
Switzerland will play the winner of Friday’s match between Colombia and Ghana in Kansas City, Missouri. The round-of-16 game is set for next Tuesday in Vancouver.
Algeria was eliminated after returning to the World Cup for the first time since 2014. Switzerland has not won a knockout-round match since 1938 in France, but in 1954 the team won a playoff game to reach the quarterfinals.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino was at the game, his second of the day. Earlier he attended the match between Spain and Austria in Inglewood, California.
