Riyad Mahrez Retires

A legendary career has ended in World Cup heartbreak as Switzerland knocks Algeria out of the tournament. Their tactical solidity was evident as they secured a dominant 2-0 victory, shattering Algerian dreams and booking their ticket to the round of 16.

Breel Embolo struck first in the 10th minute, a goal that logged him as the first Swiss player ever to score multiple goals in two different World Cups. Dan N'Doye then doubled the lead just after halftime to seal the decisive win.

Following the defeat, per the announcement, Algerian icon Riyad Mahrez retired from all football. The former Africa Cup of Nations champion leaves the stage with 119 caps.

While Algeria mourns a legend, Switzerland advances to face the winner of Colombia vs Ghana in the next round.
