Win over Norway keeps Swiss on a roll

Switzerland inflicted the first home defeat on Norway since 2003 with a 2-0 friendly victory while Cyprus hammered the Faroe Island 3-0 in the Group’s only competitive action.

A second-half effort by Rennes striker Alexander Frei and a freak own goal by Norway defender Andre Bergdolmo delighted the Swiss, who are unbeaten since losing to France at last year’s European Championship.
