BASEL (Reuters) - Switzerland made the most of a nightmare evening for Hungary goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi as they turned on the style in a 5-2 win that maintained their perfect World Cup qualifying record on Saturday. Fabian Frei added to Gulacsi's misery two minutes later by finishing off a flowing move with a side-footed shot which deflected off Barnabas Bese. The Swiss refused to let up and, after they won possession just outside the Hungary area, Shaqiri slipped ball to Steven Zuber who slotted his shot past Gulacsi for the third in the 43rd minute. Zuber struck again four minutes after the break following another mistake by Gulacsi who got a hand to the Swiss player's dipping shot only to see it drop into the net. Stephan Lichtsteiner drilled home Switzerland's fifth in the 83rd minute before Roland Ugrai pulled another back for Hungary after Sommer flapped at another corner on an unhappy night for goalkeepers.
