Thanks for joining me today! See you next time for more Nations League action.

+3: That seems to be the game. A win but a somewhat disappointing win for a Spain who dominated in the attacking game but failed to create many goalscoring opportunities.

74'

Frueler given a yellow for almost nothing after what seems to have been a dive by the Spanish player. What a shame.

72'

Adama has had a great match since he came on. Several great explosive runs show why he's here tonight!

Apart from a few superstar moments, De Gea hasn't had much to do today.
67'

Spain are peppering SWI, this could be it!

55'

Canales and Adama come on for Spain.

53'

Switzerland's counterattack is once again shut down by a solid Spanish defensive line. Spain now in possession on the attack.
51'

Oyarzabal probably could have finished that! SWI' defence was all over the place and a cross left the net wide open. He put it wide.
49'

Ansu Fati will have his name on the scoreboard before long if he keeps this up! Another great run ended by what should have been a SWI foul and a penalty.
48'

Fantastic run by Fati beats several men but ends with a scrappy SWI clearance from the box.
47'

SWI look scared to attack! From a promising position Spain chased them all the way back to their GK and then stole the ball and shot! Have some guts SWI!
46'

Spain make an energetic start! Let's see if the break has pumped them back up!
45'

That's that for now!
44'

A good save from either end and a Spanish tap-in will make up the first half. A slow game after a high energy start.
41'

The game seems to have gone to sleep. Both sides look content to finish the half 1-0.
40'

SWI attack down the wing is stopped by some sharp defending from Ramos who intercepts a pass.
36'

Freuler walks off an injury that he got from his own teammate's attempt to bring down Fati! SWI will be happy that he seems ok for the moment.
34'

Spain seem to be in total control of the match so far. Except from a few SWI counterattacks, they seem to be getting comfortable.

Yellow card

a Suiza

Fabian Schär

Defender

30'

Schar brings down Ferran Torres to stop a Spanish attack in its tracks. Yellow card.

27'

Anything you can do I can do better! Sommer shows De Gea that he can also pull of wonder saves and stops Oyarzabal's close-range header.
26'

Spain are showing their skill on the ball tonight! Rapid tuns and passes are leaving SWI struggling to deal with them.
23'

Sow absolutely flattens Merino in an encounter he got the better of. SPA freekick.
21'

Handball by Merino puts an end to a promising Spanish attack. He had options down the wing and the centre.
19'

Spain are keeping up the pressure. Merino puts the ball in from the wing but overshoots it and it goes out for a goal kick.
16'

Oyarzabal will be praying for more chances like that from SWI. The goalkeeper literally passed him the ball.

13'

SWI dodgy defending at the back leads to a tap in for Spain. Absolutely shameful stuff at the back from Switzerland.

12'

Switzerland were ruthless in counterattacking Spain to create the previous chance. Spain can not fall asleep at the back for a second, no matter how much attacking pressure they have.
10'

That's why De Gea is playing! Excellent save from the United keeper is the only thing that kept Spain level from an excellent Swiss attack and powerful shot. World class.
9'

That's 2 or 3 wide crosses in from Navas that have been cleared by the Swiss. Great attacking pressure from Spain.
7'

Both teams are pressing hard. There'll be no room for error tonight!
5'

Great defensive clearance from De Gea who had to sprint from his box to clear a loose ball.
3'

As soon as it started it ended. SWI back in control at the back for now.
2'

A bad pass from Navas is deflected and somehow finds it's way to a Spaniard! The attack continues around the Spanish box for now.

1'

Explosive start from Spain! They had Switzerland on the back foot for a second there!

1'

Let's go!

Start of match

PRVW

The players are taking the pitch! not long now.
PRVW

Both teams have a wealth of talent available to them tonight, we should be in for a treat!
PRVW

Shaqiri gave a negative result just in time to be able to play after suffering from coronavirus. Even so, he starts on the bench.
PRVW

It probably won't come as a surprise to many, Kepa to start on the bench in favour of De Gea.

Switzerland XI: Sommer; Schar, Elvedi, Rodriguez, Widmer, Benito; Xhaka, Freuler, Sow; Mehmedi, Serovic
