Hungary 2 Switzerland 0, November 18th 1998

First Published: Nov 19, 1998

Swiss coach Gilbert Gress is close to dismissal after this poor performance - and his god friend Christian Gross may be approached to try and salvage something from the side that never recovered from two early concessions to Hungary.

Gress has only been in charge since March but needed a win to secure his future. Instead he saw Georgy Korsos get on the end of a third minute corner to give the home side the lead and Egressy cross for Joszef Sebok to power in the header that sealed in only the third minute.
