The technology will be very crucial in the Euro 2024 as it will help clear doubts about some poor officiating decisions.
After Kwadeo Duah’s goal, Switzerland’s Michel Aebischer extended their lead just before halftime.

This match showcased Switzerland’s strength and dominance of the Hungarian national team.
