The victory takes Spain to four points, placing them two points behind Denmark, who lead Group D. Switzerland, on the other hand, stay at the bottom of the table with no points. Spain will have the opportunity to climb to the top of the group if they secure a home win against Denmark in their next match in October. Meanwhile, Switzerland will be looking to earn their first points when they face Serbia away.
Despite Switzerland’s increased possession and efforts to turn the game around in the second half, Spain remained resolute. Fabian Ruiz scored again to restore Spain’s two-goal lead, making the task even more challenging for the hosts. Torres then added a final touch, scoring moments later to secure a decisive victory for Spain. The match showcased Spain’s resilience and quality, even with a man down, while Switzerland’s attempts to capitalize on their numerical advantage were ultimately thwarted. Spain’s disciplined performance and clinical finishing ensured they left Geneva with a well-deserved three points.
The full-time whistle blows, and Spain, despite playing with ten men, emerge as comfortable winners over Switzerland in Geneva. The European champions asserted their dominance early in the match, with Joselu opening the scoring with a header. Fabian Ruiz quickly added a second goal, doubling Spain’s advantage and putting them in a strong position. However, the game took a dramatic turn when Le Normand was shown a red card for pulling down Embolo while being the last man. This setback for Spain allowed Amdouni to pull one back for Switzerland with a close-range strike, setting the stage for an exciting second half.
