Serbia were on top in the first half and got ahead early after a terrific header from Aleksander Mitrovic. Dusan Tadic was much more influential too, setting up the opening goal for Serbia. 

Granit Xhaka got Switzerland level with a blistering strike in the second half, before Shaqiri saved Switzerland with a last-minute winner.

SERBIA

Vladimir Stojkovic - 5.5

Got down quick to deny Dzemaili's shot with his strong right wrist in the first half. He could do absolutely nothing to stop Granit Xhaka's blistering strike. 

Branislav Ivanovic - 5

Ivanovic had to cope with Shaqiri, and it's fair to say, mostly by the second half display, Ivanovic came off second best. Gavranovic, Shaqiri and Zuber all made headway down his flank, although his deep crosses almost created another goal. 

Nikola Milenkovic - 6

Some great defending shielding the Serbia goal while also using that momentum to begin attacks for Serbia, getting the ball out quickly to the flanks. 

Dusko Tosic - 5

Dangerous from corners, Tosic nearly got on the end of Tadic's in-swinging corner and would have scored if he had timed his leap right - unfortunately he just missed the ball. No real dramas with his defending. 

Aleksander Kolarov - 6

Slid brilliant crosses into the Swiss box but they weren't converted. Didn't have many opportunities to attack but Kolarov always provided an option down the left.

Nemanja Matic - 5

Serbia didn't have as much control in midfield compared to their match with Costa Rica. Costa Rica sat back and invited pressure but Switzerland took the game to the Serbs. Matic didn't quite get on top in midfield but the game shifted many times. 

 

 

 

Luka Milivojevic - 5

Had a header saved by Yann Sommer in the first half and just about dealt with Serbia's pressure, especially with the menacing Aleksander Mitrovic lying in waiting for a second goal. 

Dusan Tadic - 6.5

Influential yet again, supplying the cross for Mitrovic's goal to open the scoring in the fifth minute. Tadic cut inside and crossed with his left boot to the tall striker who buried the header.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic - 6.5

Some exquisite passing, opening up avenues of attack for Dusan Tadic. Treasured the ball, dribbling forward with menace as defences dissolved. Unleashed right foot shots to scare the Swiss defence. 

Filip Kostic - 4.5

Not a fantastic match from Jostic who came in for Adam Ljajic in this match. On one occasion he made inroads behind Lichsteiner and entered the box. He was substituted after receiving a yellow card. 

Aleksander Mitrovic - 6.5

Taking advantage of his height, Serbia scored through the 23-year old. Mitrovic buried a header from Tadic's right-wing cross. Took a lot of confidence from the goal and threatened for a second all night. 

Subs

Adam Ljajic - 5

Hit a dangerous shot after cutting inside in the 77th minute which was saved. His passing was of more importance as he linked up with the Serbian attackers.

Nemanja Radonjic - 5

Better on the counter-attack as a defensive midfielder was brought on for him, an attacker. 

SWITZERLAND 

Yann Sommer - 6.5

Fabian Schar's poor defending allowed MItrovic to head home the opener. Had his palms stung saving Tadic's strong half-volley. 

Stephen Lichsteiner - 5.5

Some terrific slide tackles quashed Serbian attacks. Worked in great unison with Fabian Schar in defending the likes of Filip Kostic. 

Fabian Schar - 6

Poor marking of Mitrovic in the fifth minute after he scored. Mitrovic didn't have to do much running to shake off Schar as he ran in front the defender and got ahead of him to score. 

Manuel Akanji - 6.5

Flashed a header over the bar in the first half and displayed some great defending in the second to hold off Mitrovic. 

Ricardo Rodriguez - 6.5

Showed pace and trickery for Switzerland, creating chances down the left in the first half for Blerim Dzemaili.

Valon Behrami - 7

Held the ball and passed well in the first half as Switzerland probed patently, preventing Serbia's big name midfielders having a sniff. 

Granit Xhaka - 7

Some early shots indicated Switzerland's more open and attacking intent. Fired in a scorching equaliser, finishing off a splendid counter-attack with the ball getting stuck in the net. 

Xerdan Shaqiri - 8

An absolute menace in the second half and was the linchpin for Switzerland's pacy attack. Shaqiri set up Xhaka's equaliser in the second half before pivoting and shooting with his left foot that hit the outside of the post. Made a 50-metre run to get on the end of a through ball before finishing under Stojkovic to win the match. 

Blerim Dzemaili - 5

A poor match, slicing at shots, rushing proceedings just a little too much. Denied by Stojkovic early in the game and scooped a shot or cross over the bar. Subbed off after 71 minutes. 

Steven Zuber - 6.5

Much more dangerous in attack than he was against Brazil. Zuber began to come out of his shell as he found space behind Ivanovic but also helped out defensively with Ricardo Rodriguez. 

Haris Seferovic - 4

Seferovic offered little for Switzerland and has been rather disappointing. No shots or meaningful attacks as Serbia was on top in the first half. Subbed off at half-time for Mario Gavranovic. 

Subs

Mario Gavranovic - 6

Made a great impact running into the channels, giving Ivanovic a hard time. Perhaps a starter for the Costa Rica match. 

Breel Embolo - 5

Came on for Dzemaili in search of an equaliser and stung Stojkovic's palms with a shot from 20 metres. 

Josip Drmic - N/A

Came on in the 90th minute.
