Switzerland booked their place in the World Cup knockout stages with a 3-2 victory, but only after suffering a huge scare from Serbia in an epic four-goal first-half
Xherdan Shaqiri gave Switzerland the lead with a deflected shot in the 20th minute but Serbia, who had been the better team, equalised through a trademark Aleksandar Mitrovic header and then sensationally led when Dusan Vlahovic found the bottom corner which momentarily moved them second in Group G
However, Switzerland hit-back through Breel Embolo in the final minute of a thrilling first-half and regained the lead early in the second period from a wonderful team goal, rounded off by Remo Freuler
Switzerland resolutely saw out the victory to leave Serbia bottom with only one point although the match was marred by reports of a FIFA announcement inside Stadium 974 which asked fans to stop "discriminatory shouts and gestures"

Despite the early scare, Serbia impressed and saw Andrija Zivkovic hit a post with a powerful drive from outside the area yet it was Switzerland who broke the deadlock when Shaqiri's effort found the net via a deflection
Serbia, though, remained on top and soon Mitrovic drew his side level with a brilliant glancing header from Tadic's perfect cross
 Then, just seven minutes later, they were in position to qualify as Vlahovic capitalised on a mistake from Freuler to fire into the bottom corner
However, there was to be a final twist in the first-half, when Silvan Widmer crossed from the right and Embolo arrived to side-foot home for 2-2
Things would quickly get worse for Serbia at the start of the second period when Switzerland put together a wonderful move involving Embolo, Shaqiri before Vargas flicked the ball to Freuler, who made up for his earlier error and thumped in the fifth goal of the evening
Serbia never rediscovered their flowing attacking moves of the first half as the game turned bad-tempered, stoking memories of the 
 Xhaka was involved in an injury-time melee which helped take Serbia's yellow card count for the match to seven
"When you lose the game, of course we think about (mistakes made by) the defensive line, but we defend and attack as a team
"We reversed it after 0-1 to make it 2-1, but again we didn't play well defensively
 It was so easy for the Swiss to score the second goal, which was really shocking for us
 Psychologically, it was very positive for the Swiss
"These kinds of things at this level of play are forbidden
 If you repeat these mistakes, it is very difficult to win
 In the future we must work hard and do everything to resolve the problem
"We came here with a lot of niggles and injuries to our key players
 This was very difficult to manage, it was difficult to have a high level of performance at a World Cup
 Of course there was a period over the last one and-a-half-years where we had a success streak but now we faced a dip (in form)
"It goes without saying that we had problems in defence, but this would have to undergo a deeper analysis
 I shook the players' hands and said they must keep their heads up
 They really did their best and gave their maximum
" but it was not enough for them to reach the last 16 because of Switzerland's win
Brazil progressed as Group G winners on goal difference
South Korea secured a place in the  in Group H which knocked out Uruguay despite their 2-0 win over Ghana
