The Swiss goalkeeper will be eternally grateful to Ricardo Rodriguez after the left-back cleared what looked to be Northern Ireland's goal off the line.
The goal would have levelled the tie and taken the game to extra-time, but Rodriguez saved the day after Sommer was left flapping in the air and Evans headed towards goal.
Los suizos la sacaron en la línea!!!!
