Granit Xhaka captained Switzerland to an opening win at the 2022 World Cup as his side beat Cameroon 1-0 at the Al Janoub Stadium in Qatar.
In a game of two halves, the African side had the better of the first 45 minutes and carved out plenty of chances but Granit's side managed to get into the interval still level, and that would prove crucial as they grabbed the only goal of the game just three minutes after the restart.
Granit was involved in the build-up, playing an incisive pass that put his team into an attacking position, and led to Xherdan Shaqiri squaring for Breel Embolo to fire home from close range.
