Yakin left Xherdan Shaqiri out of the side for a game in which the Swiss are keen to make their mark after a lacklustre qualifying campaign.
Hungary manager Marco Rossi made only one change to his side, bringing in Attila Fiola at right back and sticking by a strong attack of Dominik Szoboszlai, Barnabas Varga and Roland Sallai.
Milos Kerkez (20 years, 221 days) is the third-youngest player to appear for Hungary at the European Championship 🙌
