Portugal was able to secure a point thanks to a controlled second period, but it was difficult against Switzerland (2-2).
Switzerland was able to increase the lead in the first half of the game within five minutes. The Helvetians quickly entered their match, scoring the opening score in the second minute through Sow, and then doubling it through Kiwic (5th).
For the Portuguese, who were virtually invisible during the first period, the shock was difficult to absorb. Francisco Neto and his men made a small noise, but the players were unable to recognize him.
They pushed their opponents back, just like Pinto. Gomes (58th) scored the goal of hope after six corners. It was all possible, and the Portuguese knew it well. They kept the same rhythm since the locker room return.
Soon after the hour mark, the joyous cries of joy resounding. Silva was able to equalize (65th), redistributing all the cards.
The Swiss were awakened and answered one another blow by blow. Strikes released in extremis, strikes that went out of bounds, a ball that was too pushy, crossbar, and post... but one thing is certain, the meeting ended with a buzz.
This result is not good for anyone. Because the Netherlands and Sweden are the current European champions, while the Netherlands and Sweden were quarter-finalists at the last World Cup. If there was a meeting that required points, it was there.
