What should I say about the match between Spain and Switzerland? How can I express my feeling about the match? This euro tournament is constantly giving us staggering, just staggering matches. But this match was very unique. Perhaps nothing that can thrill you were absent in this match. Staggering! Just staggering!
The two teams started to fight in 2nd match of quarter final to go in semi final. If you didn't watch this match, you would remain Spain ahead of Switzerland. But you had to mind that Switzerland reached quarter final after defeating France in round of sixteen, who was the world champions of FIFA World cup 2018. So both teams were playing equally.
This euro is a platform to prove Luis Enrique himself once again as he took very hard decision taking no player from Real Madrid. So he was convicted to many Spanish who are basically Real Madrid supporter. And this tournament is also a platform to write a history for Switzerland.
Anyway, in eight minute Jordi Alba's shot was deflected by Zakaria and then the ball found the net. It was an own goal. And Spanish side was ahead of one goal then. Then Switzerland started a hard pressing. But they were unable to equalize in first half. In 67 minute , they were able to send the ball in net. The match was equalized by this goal. But the most turning point of the match was the red card for a Swiss player named Freuler at 77 minutes. Switzerland down to ten man. But Spain was unable to send the ball in net. Match went in extra time. But both the two teams were unable to goal. So penalty was must. And Spain won the match by 3-1 in penalty shoot.
Switzerland played last 43 minutes with ten man. And they were able to make safe their net. What a defense it was. Goalkeeper of Swiss side Yann Sommer was like a wall in this match. He have lost the match but won our heart.
