In their opening World Cup 2022 Group G match, Switzerland defeated Cameroon 1-0 thanks to the game's lone goal by Breel Embolo.
The Indomitable Lions' promised first-half domination failed to materialize. Embolo capitalized with a goal in the 49th minute as Switzerland put on a more assured performance in the second half.
There was no surprise when Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, the star player for Cameroon, tested Switzerland's Yann Sommer in the 14th minute, given that he entered the World Cup fresh off of a successful run with Bayern Munich.
Despite sneaking past Manuel Akanji, who recovered well, Choupo-Moting could not connect with the ball because Sommer made a save properly. A few minutes earlier, Sommer had also stopped Bryan Mbeumo out of a tight angle.
