Spain Overcomes Red Card to Defeat Switzerland 4-1 in Nations League Clash

Posted : 09 September 2024

Spain’s Fabian Ruiz scored twice in a dominant 4-1 victory over Switzerland in Geneva, securing their first win in Nations League A Group Four despite playing with just 10 men. The match, played under heavy rain, saw Spain overcome their earlier 0-0 draw with Serbia and inflict a second consecutive defeat on the Swiss.

 

Spain got off to a flying start at the Stade de Genève, with Joselu and Ruiz putting them 2-0 up within 13 minutes. However, their advantage was threatened when defender Robin Le Normand was sent off after 20 minutes for a foul on Breel Embolo. This red card allowed Switzerland to get back into the game, with Zeki Amdouni scoring before halftime.

 

Despite being a man down, Spain demonstrated tactical resilience. Ruiz scored his second goal and Ferran Torres added another in the final minutes as Spain capitalized on counter-attacks. The victory was a testament to Spain's ability to adapt and perform under pressure, as praised by coach Luis de la Fuente, who expressed pride in the team's performance and growth.

 

The match began with Lamine Yamal setting up Joselu for an early goal, followed by Ruiz’s strike from a rebound. Switzerland’s Amdouni briefly revived their hopes with a close-range goal, but Spain sealed the win with additional goals from Torres and Ruiz. Swiss defender Manuel Akanji criticized his team’s defensive lapses, noting that Spain capitalized on mistakes and counter-attacked effectively.
