Switzerland put themselves in a commanding position to qualify from Group E as they came from behind to beat Serbia 2-1.

Aleksandar Mitrovic opened the scoring in no time for Serbia, rising like a salmon to beautifully flick in Dusan Tadic’s expert cross, leaving Yann Sommer stunned in the Swiss goal.

It was a strong performance from the Serbs, but the Swiss reacted in the second half, Granit Xhaka’s stunning strike following a loose ball leveling it up for Vladimir Petkovic’s side.

Serbia seemed keen to settle for a point but the Swiss were having none of it and stole all three points with stoppage time looming, Xherdan Shaqiri running on to a loose ball and scoring stylishly to secure a hard-fought victory that saw them become the first team to come from behind and win at the 2018 World Cup.
