Spain Storms Into The Semi Finals With 3 -1 In Penalty Shootout!
A Heart-Breaking love story of football! Highlights Switzerland vs Spain
These peoples well deserved teams here to be Top 8 EUFA EURO European Championship. We able to witness Switzerland triumph Golden France right after half time and Spain going through group stage and last 16 like piece of cake.Switzerland missed the 3rd shot of penalty and Spaniards going to the finals.
The Formation is expected for Switzerland with 4-2-3-1 and Spain with formidable 4-3-3. In just 8 mins in, Spain leads with 1-0. What happen was initial corner from Koke (Spain) kicked too high then ball falls on Alba, he just takes a shot with the ball then it deflected off Zakaria trying to head the ball out but the ball turn towards goal post (Denmark). AHH, this is not looking good for Swiss.
The first 20 mins in, remarkable ball of possession Spain has with 85%. So, what this means is that Spain practically on full attack mode as well. Spain tried 3 attempts, having only 1 goal on target on 8mins in.
The Spain practically has most possession of the ball, but midfielders are having the roughest time now to score while they do not have a clear shot nor time to pass behind to midfielders as Swiss surrounded them. On the other hand, Swiss have very nice counter attack against Spain but strikers having failed attempt as well. Switzerland has 4 shots with 0 goal shots. I got the feeling Switzerland has more plans on the 2nd half than the first.
What a mistake done by Spain defender, Laporte and Pau Torres are not clear who to receive the ball, Freuler (Switzerland) just took the ball and kick to the middle box, Shaqiri received and scored. What an outstanding cross it was for Swiss team. Switzerland do not underestimated the favourite team here for sure.
WHAT? A Red Card? Freuler (Switzerland) slides in to get the ball back but caught Moreno with the follow-through. VAR decision has made and it does not change anything in fact, he still gets the red card in-attempt to cause injury. Having 10 man play again this time around.
Spanish will stretch the game it seems to break apart midfielders and defenders of Swiss team. Spanish absolutely do not play well even on the 2nd round of the game. At 80 minute mark, Spain now having 10 attempts for the game 2 shots on goal does not even coming close to a goal. Absolutely one of the disappointment year coming from a former champion. Go for it, Switzerland!! Swiss defends so so well with their formation.
In the extra time, Spain tried 3 times to score attempt missed and blocked. Switzerland could be tired out by now. Substitution out for both teams is just a right decision. What an extraordinary saved by the Sommer in 101 minute mark. Sommer (goalkeeper of Swiss) saved majority of Spain Strikers, what a player!
Even 10 man player for Swiss players, they are still not giving in to Spaniards at 115 minutes mark. They defended like they deserve to be in finals more than Spaniards. THEY HEAD OF FOR PENALTY ROUND!
Here in penalty of 120” in, Sergio missed the goal hitting the goal post. Mario scored the first goal for Swiss. The game begins more thrill on the 3rd shot, where Swiss miss 2 shots and entered 1 while Spaniards entered 2 and missed 2. At the end, Swiss missed the last shot and Spain entered the last shot. Wow, Unbeaten Spain goes to SEMI-FINAL!! Truly is heart breaking match for Swiss. They played too well and the heart shattered at the end.
Final Score: Spain (3) 1 - 1 Switzerland (1)
