Switzerland's 3-0 victory was fully deserved, with the scoreline reflecting their overwhelming dominance after Scotland's early red card tipped the balance. The Swiss generated 23 shots (9 on target, 1.8 xG) against Scotland's paltry 2 attempts (0 on target, 0.2 xG), exploiting their 77% possession and 6 corners to pin back their opponents.

Jack Hendry's 11th-minute red card proved decisive, with Ricardo Rodríguez converting just a minute later to set the tone. Switzerland's high press forced Scotland into a reactive 5-3-1, with Dan Ndoye's two assists (55', 82') and 14 Swiss shots from outside the box demonstrating their control. Scotland failed to register a single shot on target and completed just 160 accurate passes (vs Switzerland's 686), highlighting their inability to build attacks.

The key stat: Switzerland attempted 23 shots in total (9 on target) compared to Scotland's 2 (both off target) — illustrating the one-sided nature of the contest once numerical superiority took hold.
