Match overview
France bounced back from their draw against Croatia to top Group B thanks to a Zidane header and a late Henry brace. Switzerland’s equaliser from the teenage Vonlanthen briefly threatened an upset, but Les Bleus’ quality told in the closing stages.
Trivia
Johann Vonlanthen became, at 18 years 141 days, the youngest scorer in European Championship history, breaking Wayne Rooney’s record set five days earlier.
