Switzerland coach, Vladimir Petkovic highlighted the personality his side had shown in coming back from behind to earn a draw against one of the favorites for the title.

"I am proud of my team, they never gave up and when we were able to go forward, we did very well, and I think it is an excellent start for the next games in the group stage," he said.

Petkovic told the press he had told his players to "keep calm and believe in ourselves... I am proud of the way my team played and against a good rival we had to be disciplined as a side," he said.

The Swiss boss pointed out that perhaps the result is not as big a surprise as some may think: "I think we get a lack of recognition, we have only lost one of our last 5 games and we have showed we can react and that the team believes itself and can get results," he concluded.
