Switzerland coach Murat Yakin used a hydration break to spark a late goal barrage in a 4-1 World Cup win over Bosnia. Yakin timed a triple substitution of speedy players for the second-half pause, betting that Bosnia couldn’t handle the change of pace.
Game-Changing Substitutions
Johan Manzambi and Rubén Vargas made their coach look clever while leading the goal barrage. Manzambi scored his first World Cup goal on an outstanding volley in the 74th minute. Vargas scored in the 84th minute shortly after Tarik Muharemovic was sent off for a dangerous tackle.
Manzambi scored again in the 90th minute on a pass from Vargas, and captain Granit Xhaka converted from the penalty spot with the final kick of the game in stoppage time. The win puts Switzerland in control of its group.
