Substitute Johan Manzambi scored twice as Switzerland beat Bosnia-Herzegovina 4-1 on Thursday at SoFi Stadium, taking a big step towards the World Cup last 32.

Murat Yakin's side, targeting the knockout phase for a seventh successive major tournament, moved onto four points at the top of Group B. They'll face co-hosts Canada next Wednesday.

The Swiss came into the match knowing a win would put them in control of their destiny. They didn't waste the chance.

Bosnia took the lead first through an early strike, but Switzerland responded quickly. Manzambi, introduced from the bench, turned the game around with two clinical finishes.

The result leaves Switzerland in a strong position. A draw against Canada would likely be enough to secure a spot in the last 32, given their superior goal difference over the other group contenders.

For Bosnia, the loss is a heavy blow. They now sit on one point and need a win in their final group game, combined with other results going their way, to have any hope of advancing.

Yakin's team have now reached the knockout stages in every major tournament since 2014 — the 2014 World Cup, Euro 2016, the 2018 World Cup, Euro 2020, the 2022 World Cup, and Euro 2024. This run puts them among the most consistent sides in international football.

Canada, the co-hosts, are also on four points after a draw with Switzerland's previous opponent. The final group match in Vancouver will decide who tops the group and who faces a potentially easier path in the knockout rounds.

Manzambi, who plays his club football for Young Boys in the Swiss Super League, has now scored three international goals. His impact off the bench has made him a valuable weapon for Yakin in tight games.

Switzerland's depth has been a key factor in their recent success. Against Bosnia, they showed they can win even when they're not at their best early on.

The match was played in front of a lively crowd at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The venue, which normally hosts American football's Los Angeles Rams and Chargers, has been one of the standout stadiums of this World Cup.

Switzerland will now shift focus to Canada. A win would guarantee top spot in Group B. Even a draw would likely be enough, barring a big swing in goal difference.

For Bosnia, the dream of a first ever World Cup knockout appearance is fading fast. They must beat their final opponent and hope Switzerland lose heavily to Canada.
