The Swiss and Canada had barely returned to the pitch for the second half when Switzerland took the lead. Ruben Vargas scored after exactly 45 minutes and 39 seconds.
That matched the record for the earliest goal in the second half at a World Cup. Previously, Daniel Agger had set that record for Denmark at the 2010 tournament, according to the data platform 'Opta'.
It is also the earliest goal by a German-speaking nation.
For Canada, meanwhile, it could be their first defeat at this World Cup. However, they are still in second place ahead of Bosnia in Group B thanks to their superior goal difference.
