Switzerland too strong for Jordan
St. Gallen: Switzerland proved too strong for Jordan as the European side sailed to a 4-1 win in an international friendly on Sunday.
Both teams are in the final stages of their preparation for the FIFA World Cup 26, with debutants Jordan to feature in Group J alongside defending champions Argentina, Algeria and Austria.

A dominant first-half display saw Switzerland down Jordan with Breel Embolo sending them on their way with a 28th minute penalty.

Dan Ndoye was then set clear by Michel Aebischer to slot the second home five minutes later. Captain Granit Xhaka then extended the lead in first-half stoppage time from the spot.

Substitute Odeh Fakhoury looked to have given Jordan a lifeline with a well-placed shot four minutes after the break, but all hopes of a comeback were extinguished when Christian Fassnacht finished well from the centre of the box in the 79th minute.

Jordan open their FIFA World Cup campaign against Austria on June 16.
