The hosts made the breakthrough in the 16th minute through Fabian Schar, who met Xherdan Shaqiri's cross and guided a header into the far corner.

Switzerland doubled their lead 11 minutes later when Granit Xhaka found space just outside the box, before crashing a low drive into the bottom corner.

With 10 minutes left to play Haris Seferovic slotted past the keeper from close range to put the seal on comfortable night for the Swiss.
