Switzerland beat North Macedonia 3:0, yet only one of the two halves looked convincing. Murat Yakın made many changes to his starting formation, and the reshuffled national team took time to find its footing. The heavy rotation showed how quickly rhythm suffers when familiar pairings are broken up. Corrections came at halftime, and they worked: after the break Yakın's side played with the same conviction as in its three previous Nations League matches. The win keeps Switzerland's strong run in the competition going. For the coaching staff, the lesson is plain: rotation costs cohesion, and cohesion produced the earlier convincing displays. The result stands, but the first-half flatness will not have gone unnoticed.
