Spain despite playing with ten men secured a flattering 4-1 victory over Switzerland in their Nations League clash. The European champions initially took the lead when Joselu headed in a cross from Lamine Yamal, with goalkeeper Gregor Kobel failing to keep it out despite a valiant effort. Switzerland thought they had equalized when Becir Omeragic scored but VAR disallowed the goal due to a handball earlier in the play.
Shortly after, Spain extended their lead as Fabian Ruiz capitalized on a saved shot from Nico Williams. The momentum shifted dramatically when Robin le Normand received a red card for a professional foul on Breel Embolo, leaving Spain a man down for the remainder of the match. Switzerland almost capitalized on Spain’s disadvantage when Zeki Amdouni hit the crossbar with a free-kick awarded for the foul.
He later scored from a corner, adding to Spain’s challenges. Despite Switzerland’s push for an equalizer, their defensive gaps allowed Spain to counter effectively. Ruiz added Spain’s third goal by converting a cross from Ferran Torres, who then scored Spain’s fourth goal, finishing from close range. In the other match of the group, Denmark defeated Serbia 2-0 bringing their points total to six.
Spain, the defending Nations League champions had drawn 0-0 against Serbia in their previous match last week. Spain’s ability to overcome the numerical disadvantage and secure a convincing win highlighted their resilience and attacking prowess despite Switzerland’s spirited comeback attempt.
