Switzerland dominated from the outset said by Football Online and took a well-deserved lead when Ruben Vargas delivered a pinpoint cross for Remo Freuler, who controlled the ball before rifling a powerful low shot past Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Vargas, who plays for Augsburg in the German league, extended Switzerland’s lead to 2-0 just 27 seconds into the second half. He received a pass from Michel Aebischer near the left-hand corner of Italy’s area and expertly curled the ball into the top far corner of the net.

Italy struggled to create chances and did not register a shot on target until the 73rd minute. Their closest opportunity before then came when Switzerland’s Fabian Schar inadvertently hit Nicolo Fagioli’s cross against his own post, leaving goalkeeper Yann Sommer helpless.

Despite a late attempt by Gianluca Scamacca hitting the woodwork, Italy failed to mount a serious comeback, marking the end of their underwhelming campaign in Germany.

Meanwhile, Switzerland, buoyed by their passionate supporters in Berlin, will advance to Dusseldorf to face the winners of England versus Slovakia on July 6th. Their strong performance against Italy underscored their qualities, building on their impressive showing throughout the tournament.

Murat Yakin’s team displayed high intensity from the start, combining it with precise passing, particularly effective on the flanks. They repeatedly breached Italy’s defense, with chances like Dan Ndoye missing a connection with Granit Xhaka’s well-placed football into the box, and Breel Embolo firing narrowly close to Donnarumma after a feed from Vargas.

Freuler’s goal, complementing his two assists in previous matches, reflected Switzerland’s dominance, while Vargas swiftly secured a comfortable margin after Fabian Rieder’s free-kick struck the post just before halftime.

Football Online: Switzerland maintained their energy and organization throughout the game, comfortably sealing their victory. This marks their second consecutive Euro quarter-final appearance, having lost in penalties to Spain in the previous edition, and they are poised to be formidable opponents for their next adversary.
