Nations League: Spain struggles to win against Switzerland

Status: 06/10/2022 1:45 p.m



Spain celebrated its first win of the season in the Nations League at the third attempt – but can’t keep up with rival Portugal.


Sarrabia with the goal of the evening

In what had been an uneventful game in Geneva for a long time, Pablo Sarabia (13th minute) gave the Spaniards a deserved lead, securing victory after two previous draws. Switzerland, with goalkeeper Yann Sommer, Breel Embolo (both Borussia Mönchengladbach), Manuel Akanji (Borussia Dortmund) and Silvan Widmer (FSV Mainz 05) in the starting eleven, rarely challenged the favorites.

Bernardo Silva shines as a preparer

Bernardo Silva in particular shone in Portugal’s selection for superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. The offensive player of Manchester City prepared the two goals from Joao Cancelo (33rd) and Goncalo Guedes (38th) in Lisbon. The Czech Republic were still without Bayer Leverkusen’s top scorer Patrik Schick, who underwent groin surgery after the end of the season in May.
