Alisha Lehmann led the way for Switzerland Women as they maintained their perfect start to their 2027 World Cup qualification campaign, securing a convincing 4-1 victory over Malta on Saturday. The Leicester City star scored the all-important second goal as the Swiss completely overpowered their opponents, registering a total of 28 shots.Iman Beney opened the scoring in the eighth minute and Lehmann doubled Switzerland's lead just two minutes later. She latched onto a through ball that put her one-on-one with the Malta goalkeeper, and made no mistake by clinically finishing with a superb first-touch strike, recording her 10th international goal for her country. Goals from Svenja Folmli and Aurelie Csillag wrapped up a comfortable 4-1 win for the Swiss, but captain Lia Walti was far from satisfied with the efficiency shown on the pitch. Standing firm on the team's high standards, Walti remarked: "That is an opponent you have to beat 6-0, 7-0 or 8-0." This sentiment echoed throughout the camp as the Swiss struggled to maintain their early scoring rhythm against a side ranked 88th in the world.The statistics backed up Walti’s frustrations, as Switzerland only hit the target with 12 of their 28 shots. "We do a lot right, but in the end we lack precision," she added. A defensive lapse in the 19th minute allowed Maria Farrugia to pull one back for Malta, a goal that served as a wake-up call for Rafel Navarro's side after their blistering start.Csillag was also not satisfied with the team's display. "We have room for improvement," the 23-year-old noted in her post-match interview. "We know: to qualify for the World Cup, we have to play better."The victory puts Switzerland in a strong position in League B2 after their 2-0 opening matchday win over Northern Ireland. Head coach Navarro had demanded "many goals" prior to kick-off, and while his side delivered the points, the pursuit of a more ruthless streak remains the primary objective as the tactical system continues to evolve under his guidance.Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reportingThe Swiss squad will now turn their attention to a double-header against Turkey in April, where they will once again be heavy favourites. These upcoming fixtures will provide another opportunity for the team to fine-tune their efficiency in front of goal, and Lehmann will hope to continue playing a key role.Navarro’s willingness to rotate the squad was evident for the Malta game, as he made four changes to the starting line-up that defeated Northern Ireland. The foundations are being laid for a successful journey to South America, provided they can sharpen their collective finishing in the decisive matches to come.
