Striker Blaise Nkufo scored with a 72nd-minute header to give Switzerland a 2-1 victory over Latvia in a World Cup qualifier Saturday.
The goal, from a free kick by Swiss captain Alex Frei, redeemed Nkufo a minute after he failed in his marking duties at another free kick to prevent Deniss Ivanovs heading an equalizing goal for 10-man Latvia.
