Seattle’s Lumen-Field hosted Comando and the Swiss National Team for an exciting Group B finale of the 2026 World Cup.
A match that started with everything in favor of the skull team: just 4 minutes in and X Rai 15 had his chance after a great assist from Ripper but the ball went just wide.
Comando was well positioned and Switzerland did not make an impact until in the 26th minute, another brilliant assist from Destripador allowed the goalscorer Sayko 2 to put the Rayos Calavéricos ahead, who went into halftime with a 1-0 lead, being far superior.
The second half began with the same momentum, and in the 47th minute, Robot Destructor, with a spectacular outside-of-the-box shot, made it 2-0, sending all the Comando fans in the stands into raptures. The Comando supporters were in a frenzy: the team was playing well, the two-nil lead included a stunning goal, the rain was falling… everything seemed set for an epic comeback.
But Demi and Guille’s team started to fall behind, and Switzerland, with Embolo (54′) and Ndoye (69′) at their feet, woke up in time to turn the possible heroic feat into a real nightmare.
The confusion in Comando was total and not even the changes (Chacal for Tiger, Destructor for ZZ10 and B-16-2 for Sayko 2) could change the destiny: the Swiss were a whirlwind of football and goals and Ndoye scored again in the 81st minute for 2-3 and in the 84th minute (with a header) to nail a hat-trick and take the Trionda home.
With time almost up, Embolo scored his second goal and sealed a final result of 2-5, a very tough defeat for the skull team.
This is how Death Command bids farewell: in the group stage, through the back door of the biggest international challenge. They couldn’t even qualify as one of the best third-placed teams, managing just 1 point from their draw against Bosnia in the first match.
Qatar and Switzerland ultimately emerged as the two qualifiers from Group B. And Bosnia finally qualified for the knockout stage as one of the best third-placed teams.
The team’s performance throughout the World Championship was extremely poor. Although they started off badly due to the injury of their captain and star player GM15 Cobra, they never managed to overcome their rivals or find the necessary variations to develop their game.
Fans on social media are already questioning El Mozo’s starting position due to his lackluster performance at the World Cup (despite saving a penalty against Qatar). It’s worth remembering that before the tournament, many were calling for Nooker to start, but Guille and Demi decided to give the Italian goalkeeper, who had been having a good year, a chance.
Much more was expected from Comando de la Muerte. Another World Cup marred by poor performances, injuries, a lack of effort from some players, and leaving a big question mark for the future: will there be another World Cup for Comando?
