Honduras v Switzerland, 25 June 2014

Kick-off 4.00pm local (9.00pm BST) Man of the Match: Xherdan Shaqiri (Switzerland) Assistant referees: Hernán Maidana (Argentina) Juan Pablo Belatti (Argentina) Fourth official: Milorad Mažić (Serbia) Fifth official: Milovan Ristić (Serbia) The two teams had met in one previous match, in the 2010 FIFA World Cup group stage, a 0–0 draw. All three goals of the match were scored by Xherdan Shaqiri. In the sixth minute, he received the ball from Stephan Lichtsteiner, dribbled inside and curled the ball into the net with his left foot. In the 31st minute, a break-away by Switzerland saw Josip Drmić setting up Shaqiri to convert. Shaqiri completed his hat-trick in the 71st minute, from another break-away and assist by Drmić. As Ecuador drew with France in the other match taking place simultaneously, Switzerland sealed a place in the knockout stage as the group runners-up, while Honduras, which needed a win to have any chance of qualifying for the knockout stage for the first time, were eliminated with zero points. Shaqiri's hat-trick was the 50th hat-trick in the history of the World Cup, and also the second by a Swiss player, following Josef Hügi in the 1954 World Cup. Honduras completed their third World Cup tournament still without a win, and had played more matches (nine total) without a win than any other side. Xherdan Shaqiri's hat-trick was the 50th in World Cup history and Switzerland's first in the World Cup since Josef Hugi against Austria in 1954. Shaqiri was also the first Swiss player to score a brace at the World Cup since Adrian Knup versus Romania in 1994.
