As the host of this European Championship, Germany put in a strong performance, swept Scotland 5-1 in the opening game, and then won 2-0 against Hungary to easily seal qualification for the round of 16 and reveal the title of the champion. However, there is also public opinion that Germany has not encountered traditional strong teams and has not been tested too much, and it is too early to talk about winning the championship.

After a few days of rest, Germany will welcome their third group stage opponents, Switzerland, who have won one and drawn one from the first two rounds with four points and only need a draw to qualify. The two teams have met 5 times before, with Germany having the upper hand with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, but the Swiss team also has a number of players who have broken through in the Bundesliga, and their strength should not be underestimated. In this game, Andrich's goal was blown away, Ndoye shoveled the goal, Phil Kruger equalized in stoppage time, and the two teams drew 1-1.

Despite having qualified early, Germany still did not choose to rotate, Nagelsmann continued to use the 4-2-3-1 formation, Kai Havertz continued to play as a central striker, Gundogan played as a central midfielder, Musiala and Wirtz were separated on the wings, Kroos and Andrich were in the back, and the defensive four were Mitterstadt, Jonatan Ta, Rudiger and Kimmich, with Manuel Neuer continuing to be in goal. According to statistics, Neuer played in the European Championship for the 18th time, surpassing Buffon to become the goalkeeper with the most appearances in the European Cup.

Switzerland also played in the main force, in a 3-4-2-1 formation, Sommer held the goal, Scher, Akanji and Rodriguez formed a three-centre-back system, Widmer and Ebechel played as wing-backs, Xhaka and Freuler sat in the middle, Reid and Ndoye formed a double midfield, and Embolo played as a single arrow.

After the start of the game, Germany, who were playing at home, immediately took possession of the ball and continued to attack. In the 2nd minute, Musiala made a wonderful breakthrough with a series of small changes of direction on the right side, and then hit a diagonal plug into the penalty area, but it was a pity that Gundogan was half a beat slow to be cleared.

In the 12th minute, there was a controversial decision on the field, Havertz played the ball on the left, Mittelstadt followed up with a low cross, Havertz flanked the middle and fell to the ground, and the referee signaled that there was no penalty.

In the 17th minute, Mittelstadt crossed from the left, Musiala failed to grab the point in the middle, but Wirtz won the second point and knocked back, Andrich shot from 25 meters out of the goal, bounced into the corner, Sommer couldn't reach the whip, and Germany broke the deadlock.

However, the referee informed Musiala that he had committed a foul on the penalty and cancelled the goal, leaving Germany rejoicing. Switzerland, who escaped the catastrophe, broke the deadlock in the 28th minute: Xhaka split the ball at the edge of the penalty area, Freuler crossed from the left, Ndoye flew and scored a goal, Neuer failed to resolve it, 1-0! According to the VAR replay, Rudiger's toe was in front, causing Ndoye not to be offside, and many fans angrily criticized Real Madrid's iron guard for helping!

The goal disrupted Germany's tactical set-up and two minutes later, Xhaka sent a scalpel through and Ndoye used his speed to shake off Rudiger and force a shot into the far corner from a tight angle, grazing the post and narrowly deflecting it as Switzerland came close to scoring a second goal.

In the 41st minute, Kroos' signature corner cross landed just right, but Rudiger's header was slightly high. Musiala then broke through with the ball, the edge of the box changed direction and then split the ball, and Havertz volleyed high.

In the first 45 minutes, Germany had nearly 70 per cent possession and created seven shots on goal, but the score was 1-0.

After the resumption of the game, Germany picked up the tempo in the hope of equalising as soon as possible. In the 49th minute, Wirtz pulled out a brilliant through ball with the outside of his instep, Musiala half-volleyed was saved by Sommer, and Gundogan missed a great opportunity with a missed shot.

In the 70th minute, substitute Sane made an inverted triangle pass on the right side, Kimmich stabbed at close range in front of the goal, Akanji suddenly appeared, stretched out his leg to block the ball, and Bayer fell in the penalty area at the same time as the supplementary shot, but the referee signaled that it was not a penalty!

In the 92nd minute, two German substitutes made meritorious contributions, Raum's cross from the left was sent to the goal, and Phil Kruger's header scored the goal, 1-1! Phil Kruger made 19 appearances for Germany, contributing 13 goals and two assists, and was directly involved in 15 goals, which is quite exaggerated. In the end, Germany drew 1-1 with Switzerland, successfully held the first place in the group, successfully smashed the suspicion of releasing water, and is very likely to meet Spain in the quarterfinals!
