2010 FIFA World Cup: Spain v Switzerland 0-1 In this sixteenth match video, we relive the game played between Spain & Switzerland. World Cup favourites Spain suffered a shock defeat by Switzerland as South Africa 2010 served up its first major upset. The European champions enjoyed almost total control of the game in Durban but were wasteful in front of goal and went behind after 52 minutes when a long ball eventually found its way through to Gelson Fernandes, who, after a series of errors, bundled it into the net. With Barcelona trio David Villa, Andres Iniesta and Xavi unable to conjure a breakthrough, coach Vicente Del Bosque threw on Fernando Torres, Jesus Navas and Pedro, but to no avail as the Spanish slumped to only their second defeat in 49 games. The result piles pressure on Spain, who were widely-tipped to finally end decades of underachievement on the game’s biggest stage and Del Bosque’s men could now be forced to face Brazil in the second round if they finish Group H as runners-up. Chile beat Honduras 1-0 in the earlier match. For the unfancied Swiss, it was a historic first victory over the Spanish and another triumph in the glittering career of their German coach Ottmar Hitzveld. Del Bosque’s men had quickly settled into their rhythmic short passing game and, with Switzerland struggling to get the ball out of their own half, the match came to resemble a training session. The first real opening fell to Spain right-back Sergio Ramos, who received the ball in space on the right before dragging his shot.
