Switzerland dramatically came from behind to beat Ecuador in their World Cup Group E opener courtesy of goals from two substitutes in Brasilia.
Admir Mehmedi was on the pitch for just 121 seconds when he headed home an equaliser after Enner Valencia’s opener, with goalkeeper Alexander Dominguez nowhere to be seen.
Seferovic’s strike also makes sure there has been no draws in this year’s tournament, the first time since 1934.
