Switzerland Beats Algeria 2-0 as Keeper Hayes' Absence Marks Biggest Miss

In Vancouver's round of 32, Switzerland outclassed Algeria with a 2-0 win to advance to the quarter‑finals. Despite goalkeeper Hayes missing the match through injury, the Swiss defense remained compact and denied the Algerians any clear chances.

The decisive moment came when Algeria failed to convert a prime opportunity in the 78th minute, a miss now dubbed the tournament's biggest oversight. Coach Müller praised the squad’s adaptability in the keeper’s absence.
