    FT: Switzerland 0-1 Spain!! Full-time in Geneva and Luis Enrique's men get their first win thanks to Sarabia's first half goal. The Swiss tried to get back into the game, but they hardly troubled Simon in the Spain goal. Spain did little in the second 45 but were comfortable apart from late surge which saw Embolo miss an open goal and Sow see a goalbound shot deflected wide at the death. Thanks for your company and see you again soon!

  • 93'
    Asensio is caught offside. One last chance for the hosts?

  • 45'
    HT: Switzerland 0-1 Spain!! Half-time in Geneva and Spain have been the better side. Sarabia's 13th minute goal is the difference in a game which has had very few chances. Spain had some early attacks and scored early. Since then, they've just kept the ball and waited for the gaps to appear. The Swiss had a clear chance when Embolo headed wide from a corner, but otherwise, Spain have been comfortable. Back shortly!
