    That's it for the game, Switzerland walk off with three points, while Ecuador get nothing out of it. Thank you for following the match with us, we have the others covered as well, so sit back and enjoy the evening. Until next time, goodbye! (19:56:24)
     
    The match is over – Switzerland with two goals in the second half win the game stunning Ecuador who believed until the very end that they could save at least a point. They made a mistake of closing the game too early and didn't use the full potential of their bench, leaving one substitution unused. Switzerland, on the other hand, see Hitzfeld doing the right substitutions bringing in Mehmedi and Seferovic who both scored – the first the equalizer and the latter the winner.
     
    Game over.
     
    90+3
