Switzerland won only one match in this group, right at the start, 2-1 against Norway. After this victory, defeats followed with Italy, 2-3 and with France 1-4. Even though Switzerland finished with equal points with Italy and Norway, three each, the fact that it had five goals scored, compared to Italy’s four and Norway’s two, was important, this being the first tie-breaking criterion in this final tournament.
