70 minutes 0-0, and in the last 27 minutes, 5 goals were scored wildly! The "late prime time" World Cup after 12 years of waiting

Early morning on June 19th, Los Angeles Stadium. If you only watched the first 70 minutes and then turned off the live broadcast to go to sleep, congratulations — you perfectly missed the craziest night of this World Cup so far.

70 minutes of dead water with slight ripples, everyone yawning

At the end of the first half, the score was 0-0. Switzerland had nearly 70% possession, but the expected goals combined for both teams was only 0.24 — what does that mean? It’s the second dullest half of this World Cup so far. Switzerland only had 1 shot on target, Bosnia also only had 1. The yawns from the on-site fans probably outdid the shots on goal.

Minute 71 — Yakin presses the "crazy button"

Seeing the situation was not opening up, Switzerland’s head coach Yakin made three substitutions in a row: Menzambi, Vargas, and Sou. As it turned out, this substitution was like throwing a bomb into a dead pond.

Minute 74 — The young player’s heroic moment

Just 3 minutes after coming on as a substitute, 20-year-old Freiburg midfielder Menzambi received a cross from Vargas and volleyed it into the net inside the penalty area. Switzerland 1-0! The Los Angeles Stadium instantly ignited.

Minute 80 — Red card completely changes the game

Bosnia defender Muharemovic, as the last defender, fouled Embolo and was directly sent off with a red card. Bosnia played with 10 men. It’s worth noting that in just 26 matches of the 2026 World Cup, 4 red cards have already been shown — equaling the total number of red cards in all 64 matches of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

Minute 84 — Substitutes connect again and score

Menzambi initiated the attack, Embolo passed inside the penalty area, Vargas shot and scored. Switzerland 2-0!

Minute 90 — History is born at this moment

Vargas made a back-heel pass on the left, Menzambi followed up with a shot and scored his second goal. The 20-year-old, 247 days old, Menzambi became the youngest player in World Cup history to score twice after coming on as a substitute.

In stoppage time — the goals just kept coming

Minute 90+3, Bosnia’s Mahmic shot fiercely to pull one back. Minute 90+7, Bosnia’s Mamic fouled inside the penalty area, giving away a penalty, and captain Zaka calmly scored. 4-1, the match ended.

Data shows how outrageous this game was

This match became the first in World Cup history where, despite producing as many as 5 goals, all goals occurred after the 70th minute. From the 74th to the 97th minute, a mere 23 minutes, 5 goals were scored — 0 in the first 70 minutes, then 5 in the last 27 minutes. This isn’t football; it’s more like a "late prime time" traffic jam suddenly clearing up.

It’s also the first time since 1994 that Switzerland scored 4 goals in a single World Cup match. Zaka, with this goal, became the second Swiss player after Shaqiri to score in three consecutive World Cups.

After this game, Switzerland has 4 points from 2 matches and temporarily tops Group B, with a very good chance of qualifying.
