Leads team in tackles
Aebischer had one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and five corners in Thursday's 4-1 victory versus Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Analysis: Aebischer operated in a deeper role and was largely quiet in an offensive sense, though he did threaten briefly when arriving into the box to meet a header. He also assumed corner-taking responsibilities on the left in the absence of Ruben Vargas, though none of his four deliveries found their target. Defensively he was more influential, leading Switzerland's midfield in tackles with four and contributing two clearances.
Effective two-way display
Aebischer generated one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Qatar.
Analysis: Aebischer delivered one of Switzerland's more dangerous moments in first-half stoppage time, firing a shot on target from the edge of the area after a corner was only partially cleared, testing the Qatar goalkeeper when his side were pushing to double the lead before halftime. The midfielder contributed consistently in transition and was one of the more active players in the Switzerland XI, pressing intelligently and recycling possession across his 65 minutes against a Qatar side that gave up possession cheaply for long spells.
