Switzerland Dropped FOUR Goals After the 70th Minute and Bosnia's World Cup Dreams Are Done

Woah, you guys see that?! If you turned off the Switzerland-Bosnia game after 65 minutes, you missed an absolute BANGER of a collapse! Seriously, what even happened in Inglewood? Switzerland just went full beast mode, exploding for four goals after the 70th minute to absolutely rout Bosnia and Herzegovina 4-1. That's right, FOUR goals in 20 minutes to take command of Group B at the World Cup! If you're a Bosnia fan, you're absolutely sick to your stomach right now.

Manzambi Unleashed, Bosnia Crumbles

It looked like Bosnia's super cagey approach was actually working for a long, long stretch. They were holding their own, frustrating Switzerland. But then, Swiss coach Murat Yakin made the game-changing move, bringing on 20-year-old Johan Manzambi in the 71st minute. And let me tell you, that kid made an IMMEDIATE impact. Vargas got loose on the left, curled in a beauty, and Manzambi instinctively met the second ball. BOOM! A vicious side volley that Bosnian keeper Nikola Vasilj just couldn't handle. Just like that, the floodgates started to open. And it got worse, fast. Any realistic hope for Bosnia completely evaporated just six minutes later when defender Tarik Muharemovic was rightly sent off. The referee, Joao Pinheiro, had no choice but to flash the red after Muharemovic hauled down Breel Embolo, denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity.

e red card, Vargas found the bottom right corner after Embolo held up the ball near the spot and played it to his open teammate. Then Manzambi completed his brace in the 90th minute, with Vargas providing the assist again! Bosnia's substitute, Ermin Mahmic, did pull one back with a thunderous volley in stoppage time, but veteran Granit Xhaka sealed the deal from the penalty spot seven minutes into second-half stoppage time. Talk about a brutal finish.

Group B Shake-Up and a Worrying Pattern

So, what does this mean for the group? Switzerland now sits pretty atop Group B with 4 points from a 1-0-1 record, despite a slightly disappointing 1-1 draw against Qatar to start their tournament. For Bosnia and Herzegovina, it's a grim picture at 0-1-1 with just 1 point. This loss against Switzerland really highlights a disturbing pattern for them: all five goals they've conceded in the tournament so far have come after the 70th minute, including the equalizer in their 1-1 draw against Canada. You can't be giving up goals that late and expect to go anywhere in this competition! Tonight, Qatar and Canada face off in Vancouver, and the winner there will pull level on points with the Swiss. Switzerland is looking to progress to the knockout phase for a fourth consecutive World Cup, and this late surge absolutely puts them in the driver's seat. For Bosnia, they're going to need to be way more adventurous in their group finale against Qatar if they have any shot at all. This World Cup group stage is already delivering the drama, and you know we're gonna be glued to see how Group B shakes out!
