Match Report
Switzerland Cruise Past North Macedonia in Nations League
Switzerland delivered a commanding performance at the Thermoplan Arena in Lucerne, brushing aside North Macedonia 3-0 to stay on top of their Nations League B group. The hosts dominated from the start, though the breakthrough didn't arrive until first-half stoppage time.
Fabian Rieder broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute, sending the Swiss in ahead at the break. North Macedonia tried to respond after the interval, but Johan Manzambi doubled the lead in the 74th minute before Dan Ndoye wrapped things up just seven minutes later. No cards or major flashpoints marred an otherwise one-sided contest.
The result leaves Switzerland on 12 points from four matches, firmly in control at the top of the group and well on course for promotion. North Macedonia, meanwhile, suffer a fourth straight defeat and remain bottom of the table, with plenty of work still to do to avoid relegation.
