This was a clinic. Switzerland came into this World Cup Group B match needing a result, and they got one in emphatic fashion against a Bosnia side that was reduced to 10 men and had no answer for what the Swiss threw at them. When you're a man down at the World Cup, you're basically just hoping to keep it respectable. Bosnia could not do that.
The breakthrough came around the 73rd minute — ideal timing, as Barstool put it — with Switzerland going up 1-0. That goal opened the floodgates against a shorthanded Bosnian defense that had already been holding on for dear life. The Swiss fans in red SUISSE jerseys packed into the stadium in Los Angeles were going absolutely nuts.
Switzerland break the deadlock around the 73rd minute, sending the Swiss faithful into a frenzy in Los Angeles.
But the real story of this match is Manzambi. The man came off the bench, saw his opportunity against a tired and depleted Bosnia backline, and absolutely went to work. Not 1 goal. 2 goals. A brace. Off the bench. At the World Cup. That's the kind of performance that makes a player's tournament — and maybe his career.
Manzambi completes his brace to seal the 3-0 result, with Swiss players and coaching staff erupting on the sideline.
The final score — 3-0 — doesn't lie. Switzerland controlled this game from the moment Bosnia went down a man, and Manzambi's late double put an exclamation point on a group stage performance that should have the rest of Group B on notice. Switzerland is not here to mess around, and they've got a super sub who can change a game in the blink of an eye.
