Switzerland has beat Spain 1 - 0! This is a major blow to Spain as they are one of the worlds best with players like Torres, Xabi, Xavi, Villa, Pique, Iniesta, Silva and others!


The starting line-up was also great but Torres wasn't put on the field until later in the game.
Although Spain had possession of the ball most of the time, they were off focus for 10 seconds and a goal by Gelson Fernandez came after a Eren Derdiyok (switzerland attacker) span out of control and kicked the ball forward accidentally. Fernandez pounced and managed to kick the ball into the back of the net! Spain were injured (Gerard Pique had a hit to his head and was bleeding) and down a goal.
