2018 Russia World Cup in numbers

Switzerland fought back to beat Serbia 2-1 in a result that leaves Brazil top of Group E.

Aleksander Mitrovic handed Serbia the lead in the first-half and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic went close to doubling the lead.

But Serbia failed to truly make their early pressure count and Switzerland equalised in the second-half through a stunning Granit Xhaka strike from distance.

Stoke City forward Xherdan Shaqiri then scored a dramatic late winner in a result that leaves Serbia in serious danger of making an early exit from the tournament.
