Play in Group G of the 2006 FIFA World Cup began on 13 June and completed on 23 June 2006. Switzerland won the group, and advanced to the second round, along with eventual tournament runners-up France. South Korea and Togo failed to advance. Switzerland were the only team not to concede a goal during the group stage of the tournament and would become the first team to be knocked out of a World Cup without conceding, losing on penalties after a 0–0 draw with Ukraine in Round of 16.
