Switzerland's Breel Embolo struck early and Dan Ndoye added a second after the break as they cruised to a 2-0 win ​over Algeria on Thursday and into the last 16 at the World Cup, where they will meet Colombia or Ghana back in ‌Vancouver next week, Reuters reported. 

The victory was Switzerland's first in the knockout stage since 1938, and they will fancy their chances in the next round after a tactical masterclass orchestrated by coach Murat Yakin.
