End of match

  • 95'
    FT: Spain 1-2 Switzerland!! All over in Zaragoza and the Swiss win after an impressive display. Akanji put the visitors ahead in the first half, but Alba levelled after 55 minutes. Embolo then restored Switzerland's lead a few minutes later and that proved to be the winner. Spain must beat Portugal in Braga to make the semis while Switzerland move away from relegation. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!
  • 95'
    Spain get a corner, Swiss clear and that's that!
  • 93'
    Soler!!! Iglesias is played in and just keeps the ball in, the cut back is deflected off a defender and then Soler's shot is saved! Spain's claims for a penalty after the strike fall on deaf ears.
  • 92'
    Spain are not creating anything now, to be honest. The Swiss should see this out without any issues.
  • 90'
    Five extra minutes.
  • 88'
    Handbags between Llorente and Steffen and the ref tells them to calm down.

  • 55'
    Asensio was absolutely brilliant in that move to get away from so many defenders.

  • 45'
    HT: Spain 0-1 Switzerland! No added time and it's half-time in Zaragoza. The away side have been much more positive and Akanji's header from a corner after 21 minutes is the difference so far. Sow and Shaqiri have also had chances for the visitors while Spain have posed little threat going forward. Back for more shortly!

    There are two games remaining and Spain are top of the group with eight points, Portugal, who travel to Czech Republic in the other game, have seven points. The Czechs are on four and the Swiss have three. The first placed side go into the semis while those who end bottom are relegated to League B.
  • PRVW
    From Switzerland's 1-0 win over Portugal, there are fewer changes. Sommer replaces Omlin in goal while Vargas comes in for Seferovic.
  • PRVW
    Spain beat Czech Republic 2-0 in their last match. From that team, there are many changes. Only Simon, E Garcia and Asensio remain. That means no Carvajal. Inigo Martinez, Marcos Alonso, Soler, Rodri, Koke. Morata or Olmo.

    It's 19 degrees and dry in Zaragoza for this one.
