Fans from Serbia and Kosovo reacted as Switzerland advanced to the last 16 of the World Cup for the third tournament in a row after a 3-2 win over Serbia on Friday.

Art Kelani, who watched the game in Kosovo's capital Pristina, said "it was a very big game" due to the players with Albanian heritage in the Swiss team.

"It was filled with emotion," he said.

Two of Switzerland's most famous players, Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri, have Albanian heritage linked to Kosovo.

Serbia supporter Aleksandar Mitic, who was watching in Belgrade, said his team "did not play well".

"I think we had a very amateurish defence, we played well in attack but it just wasn't it," he said.

Remo Freuler scored the winning goal just after halftime as the Swiss secured second place in Group G.

They will next face Portugal on Tuesday at Lusail Stadium.

Freuler finished off a backheel pass from Ruben Vargas after Shaqiri clipped a ball into the penalty box.

Shaqiri put Switzerland ahead early in the first half before Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dusan Vlahovic responded for Serbia.

Breel Embolo evened the score just before halftime.

Switzerland and Serbia also met in the group stage of the 2018 World Cup, when the Swiss won after a last-minute goal from Shaqiri.

Born in Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008, Shaqiri ran straight to the opposing fans to celebrate, putting his finger to his lips after being taunted by that section of the crowd.

Shaqiri and Xhaka were fined for celebrating with hand gestures representing Albania’s national eagle symbol.
