Xherdan Shaqiri has described his hat-trick in the 3-0 World Cup win over Honduras on Wednesday night as a "big achievement".

The Bayern Munich ace struck all three goals as Ottmar Hitzfeld's side rounded off their Group E campaign with a flourish and booked a second-round place in the process.

Although Shaqiri admits that he enjoyed his treble - which was the 50th in World Cup history - the youngster says that the Swiss are now focused on facing Argentina in the last 16.

"It is definitely a big achievement to score three goals at a World Cup," he told FIFA.com.

"The important thing is that we stuck together as a team. Now we'll have to see what happens. We're in the Round of 16 so anything is possible."

Switzerland face Alejandro Sabella's side on July 1, with kickoff scheduled for 5pm.
