Switzerland coach Kobi Kuhn insisted he was satisfied with his side's performance during Saturday's 1-1 friendly draw against Ivory Coast in Basel.

Tranquillo Barnetta opened the scoring for the hosts after 32 minutes, as both sides continued their preparations for the World Cup finals.

However, Switzerland were denied victory when Emerse Fae levelled for the Elephants just after the interval.

"I am quite pleased with the result," Kuhn told the Swiss Football Federation's official website.

"But we made some mistakes which this team in such a context should not be making.

"But we should not forget we were playing against the best team in Africa. Many of their players are playing in major European leagues.

"There is enough time for us to analyse the mistakes and to work on the necessary improvements."
