London-born Swiss striker of Ghanaian descent, Kwadwo Duah, made a significant impact in Switzerland's 3-1 victory over Hungary in their Euro 2024 opener on Saturday.

Swiss coach Murat Yakin handed Duah a starting position, and the striker justified this decision by scoring his first international goal, giving Switzerland an early lead at Cologne Stadium.

Michel Aebischer extended Switzerland's advantage with a goal just before half-time, making it 2-0.

Hungary fought back in the second half, with Barnabas Varga reducing the deficit by converting a precise cross from Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, leaving Yann Sommer helpless.

In stoppage time, substitute Breel Embolo sealed the win for Switzerland with a skillful lob over Hungarian goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi, ensuring a triumphant start to their Euro 2024 campaign.

The victory places Switzerland second in Group A, trailing only the tournament hosts, Germany, who dominated Scotland with a 5-1 victory. Meanwhile, Hungary is left to regroup after the challenging defeat.
