UEFA Nations League - lost 1-2 to Switzerland, Spain cedes top spot in the standings to Portugal
2022-09-26 11:20After relying on Alba to contribute a goal at home in the UEFA Nations League in the 2022/23 season, Spain finally lost to Switzerland 1-2, which led to the reluctance to give up the first place in the group standings to Portugal. This also means that Portugal is undefeated to Spain in the final round of the competition, and the team can successfully qualify for the top 4 of the UEFA Nations League.
After this game, Spain also suffered its first defeat in the current UEFA Nations League, and after Portugal beat the Czech Republic 4-0 away, Spain was 2 points behind in the group standings. However, Spanish coach Enrique remains optimistic about the future of the team, and believes that if they can beat Portugal on the road, the team will gain more confidence to face the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.
However, it should be noted that Spain has played against Portugal in the past three times, all of which have been draws.
In the match between Spain and Switzerland, Switzerland took a left corner kick in the 21st minute. Akanji took the corner kick from Vargas in the penalty area and jumped directly to the goal, leaving Spain behind Switzerland 0-1. .
In the second half, coach Enrique directly replaced all the starting forwards. In the 55th minute, Asensio got the ball from the middle and then scored to the side. Alba followed up from the left and successfully scored in the small penalty area to help Spain equalize the score 1-1.
In the 58th minute, Akanji rubbed a header at the front point. While Embolo was fighting, Eric Garcia accidentally made an own goal. In the end, Switzerland maintained the score of 2-1 until the end of the game. .
In addition, Enrique also praised Switzerland's excellent pressing in the interview after the game, and the physical strength of the players is also very strong, which makes Spain unable to play the football it wants.
