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.
