Switzerland cannot win the start of the Euro 2021 in Group A.

Superstar Gareth Bale remains pale in Wales, Bundesliga professional Breel Embolo meets.

In the end it will be dramatic.

Munich / Baku - The heavily traded Switzerland missed a victory at the start of the pan-European football championship 2021 *. The Confederates, with rows and rows of Bundesliga * professionals, played 1: 1 (0: 0) against Wales for superstar Gareth Bale (Tottenham) in the Baku National Stadium. This puts the Swiss in group A of the European Championships, tied with the British, in second place.

Behind co-hosts Italy, who clearly won 3-0 (0-0) against Turkey on Friday evening at the start of the European Football Championship 2021 * in Rome.

Bundesliga professional * Breel Embolo (49th minute) from Borussia Mönchengladbach * had put Switzerland in the lead in Azerbaijan shortly after the break with a massive header, Kieffer Moore (74th) from Cardiff City equalized for the British.

In the end it got dramatic: video evidence was used to cancel an alleged goal by Mario Gavranovic after 85 minutes.

EM 2021: Switzerland runs against the bulwark of Wales - Bundesliga star Embolo nets

Yann Sommer, Nico Elvedi and Breel Embolo (all Borussia Mönchengladbach *), Manuel Akanji (Borussia Dortmund *) and Kevin Mbabu (VfL Wolfsburg) - Switzerland started with five current Bundesliga * players.

In addition, Xherdan Shaqiri (formerly FC Bayern Munich *), Fabian Schär (formerly 1899 Hoffenheim), Granit Xhaka (formerly Gladbach), Ricardo Rodriguez (formerly Wolfsburg) and Haris Seferovic (formerly Eintracht Frankfurt) can look back on experiences in Germany from the starting lineup.

The focus in the team of coach Vladimir Petkovic against the Welsh was the powerful attacker Embolo.

Shortly after the break, the 24-year-old from Gladbach rewarded his team for their offensive efforts in the first section.

He purposefully headed a corner from Liverpool star Shaqiri from five meters into the goal.

When Moore equalized, the Confederates were not up to date - the 28-year-old striker was also able to head according to a standard.

Then the 85th minute: With his first contact with the ball after substituting for Seferovic, Gavranovic shot a volley on Embolo's presentation.

But referee Clement Turpin tried the video evidence - and indeed: attacker Gavranovic was offside at the end.

The hit didn't count!

For Switzerland, the European Championship started with a small setback.

The starting position promises high excitement for the upcoming games.
