World Cup Qatar 2022 live: last minute of the World Cup, news and results, live today

Embolo makes history in a bittersweet way

The first goal of the day left one of the most curious stories so far in the World Cup. Breel Embolo had to contend with Switzerland, his adopted nation, Cameroon, the nation of his birth. His role is being more than complicated, having to play as a striker and being the one who directly ‘harms’ one of his countries.

This is exactly what happened at the beginning of the second half. The Monaco striker caught a cross from the right and scored Switzerland’s first goal in this World Cup against ‘his’ Cameroon. Born in Yaoundé, the capital of the African country, he decided to stay where he was after marking and raising his hands apologizing to his country of origin. Possibly one of the saddest goals of his career. This is also his first goal in a World Cup after not being able to score in Russia after playing the full game against Costa Rica and 10 and 17 minutes against Brazil, Serbia and Sweden between the group stage and the round of 16.

According to Mr.Chip, it is the first time in the history of all the World Cups that this has happened. Breel Embolo wrote a most bittersweet historical chapter.

More ‘player derbies’

​​​​​​This match between Cameroon and Switzerland decided by Embolo, Swiss and Cameroonian, is the first of several in this World Cup that will face a player between the country he represents on green and the one in which he was born. Beljovic, born in Basel, could face ‘his team’ of him in the match between Serbia and the Swiss team. He will also go through with Funes Mori, born in Argentina and who will play the round of 16 qualifying with Mexico. This same case will continue to occur as the tournament progresses. For example, it could occur in a possible Morocco-Spain in the case of Achraf Hakimi or with Laporte if La Roja played against France. Same case for Iñaki Williams if he finally played Ghana against Spain.
