Summary
26 minutes in, Ricardo Rodriguez's long-range attempt nearly sent Breel Embolo through to double Switzerland's lead, but the pass-shot missed by about a metre.
Embolo had already scored Switzerland's opener, and Algeria's back line was caught flat-footed again as he darted in behind.
Play then paused for a hydration break, leaving Switzerland still 1-0 up after the latest warning sign for Algeria.
