Striker becomes co-hosts leading scorer

Alexander Frei became the leading scorer in Switzerland's history as he hit a brace to help the Euro 2008 co-hosts to a 3-0 win over Liechtenstein. Switzerland were playing their final warm-up game ahead of this summer's finals and Borussia Dortmund striker Frei netted twice to tally a Swiss-record 35 international goals. Frei opened the scoring in the 24th minute and then added a second seven minutes later. Johan Vonlanthen scored a third in the 68th minute to secure a comfortable victory. Switzerland have been drawn in Group A for the finals and play the first game of the tournament against Czech Republic on 7th June before taking on Turkey and Portugal.
