Algeria failed to repeat its advance to the last sixteen teams from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Several sources describe the Swiss victory as controlled, while the Algerian team, despite its efforts, did not produce a result that would have allowed it to continue in the tournament. Le Figaro ↗
Switzerland had previously won its group without a defeat. After a 1:1 draw with Qatar, it defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 4:1 and hosts Canada 2:1.
