Ukraine vs Switzerland

Swiss players acknowledge the cheers from their supporters after the match.

Switzerland became the first team to be eliminated from the World Cup without conceding a single goal.

Swiss defender Ludovic Magnin said their 3-0 penalty shootout defeat by Ukraine was a terrible way to go out of the World Cup.

"It's terrible. It's so sad to lose this way but football is not always fair," said Magnin, who had played well and was reduced to tears as he contemplated their second round exit.
