Switzerland’s Breel Embolo scored the only goal against Cameroon — the country of his birth — in a hard-fought World Cup Group G opener. The Indomitable Lions were unfortunate to lose after an enterprising display at the Al Janoub Stadium in Qatar. Embolo moved to Switzerland from Cameroon with his family as a six-year-old and pledged his allegiance to the European nation after being granted citizenship in 2014. The Indomitable Lions have now lost eight successive games at the World Cup finals but Rigobert Song’s side impressed at times here. For Switzerland, the win gives them breathing space before their match against group favourites Brazil on Monday.
