Switzerland advanced to the quarter-finals of the ongoing World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada after defeating Colombia in a penalty shootout. The match ended in a 0-0 draw during regular time, with the outcome decided by penalties. The Swiss captain, Granit Džaka, was among the first to score.
Media reports noted that Džaka was allegedly subjected to a taunt displaying the flag of Serbia in the background. Given Džaka’s Albanian heritage, he is reportedly a frequent target of such provocations. However, these attempts by the opposing fans were unsuccessful, as Džaka managed to score, leading to Switzerland’s victory.
The identity of the fans responsible remains unclear, whether they were Serbian supporters or from another source. Separately, the article also mentioned that Martinez will no longer lead Portugal.
