Serbia drove through Nico Elvedi's own objective in first-half stoppage time and Aleksandar Mitrovic multiplied the benefit before Predrag Rajkovic saved a punishment from Swiss striker Breel Embolo. Serbia took a giant stride towards survival in the UEFA Nations League top-flight by securing a 2-0 victory over near rivals Switzerland - their first-ever head-to-head win. With Serbia and Switzerland essentially competing against each other to avoid relegation from Group A4, you’d have been forgiven for expecting a brighter start from two sides desperate to beat the other. It turned out to be quite the opposite though, as the only bright spot in an incredibly dull start came when Veljko Birmancevic ’s tame effort was easily gathered by Gregor Kobel . It took until just after the half-hour mark for the game's first big chance to arrive, but it was wasted by Breel Embolo who skewed wide after he was teed up by Silvan Widmer . That ...

Football is the name given to a number of different team sports. The most popular of these world-wide is association football (also known as soccer). The English word "football" is also applied to American football (also known as gridiron), Australian rules football, Canadian football, Gaelic football, rugby football (rugby league and rugby union), and related games. Each of these codes (specific sets of rules, or the games defined by them) is referred to as "football".
These games involve:
* a large spherical or prolate spheroid ball, which is itself called a football.
* a team scoring goals and/or points, by moving the ball to an opposing team's end of the field and either into a goal area, or over a line.
* the goal and/or line being defended by the opposing team.
* players being required to move the ball mostly by kicking and — in some codes — carrying and/or passing the ball by hand.
* goals and/or points resulting from players putting the ball between two goalposts.
* offside rules, in most codes, restricting the movement of players.
* in some codes, points are mostly scored by players carrying the ball across the goal line.
* in most codes players scoring a goal must put the ball either under or over a crossbar between the goalposts.
* players in some codes receiving a free kick after they take a mark/make a fair catch.
Peoples from around the world have played games which involved kicking and/or carrying a ball, since ancient times. However, most of the modern codes of football have their origins in the United Kingdom.
