The 0-0 draw was a fair reflection of a game where neither side created enough to deserve victory. Switzerland's 0.57 xG marginally edged Slovenia's 0.35, but both teams combined for just 5 shots on target from 21 attempts, underscoring a lack of cutting edge. The visitors dominated possession (71%) but only translated that into 13 total shots, with just 3 on target - a poor return given their territorial advantage.

Switzerland's build-up play was sterile, with only 6 of their 13 shots coming from inside the box. Slovenia, despite mustering just 29% possession, were more efficient in chance creation, registering 7 corners to Switzerland's 11 and getting 3 of their 8 shots from dangerous areas. The decisive stat was shot accuracy: both goalkeepers made 3 saves each, with neither truly tested - Oblak and Kobel faced a combined xG of just 0.92 across 90 minutes.
