Spain achieved a second victory in 3 games in Group 4 of the Nations League, after beating Switzerland 1-0 at the Alfredo di Stefano Stadium in Madrid.
Thus, La Furia remains at the top of the group with 7 points, while the Crusaders only have 1, after before this game they tied with Germany and fell from Ukraine.
The hosts were in control of the match, but they didn’t create many situations. A blunder by the rival goalkeeper helped them win, as the Swiss were not at the same level in the top positions.
One of the four new players released by coach Luis Enrique from the previous match of the competition, became the scorer of the winning goal.
Before him, David de Gea saved a dangerous shot from Benito in the 12th minute, and just 2 minutes later the hosts scored after a miss from goalkeeper Jan Sommer. The point guard passed a ball directly to Mikel Merino, which he returned, followed by a pass to Mikel Ojarsabal and the Real Sociedad forward did not miss.
Unsurprisingly, the Spaniards had more control of the ball, as in the 29th minute Ferran Torres failed to double down by failing to beat Sommer. The guests had a hard time getting into positions, and shortly after the break they were about to score another goal after a mistake by Sommer, who this time found Oyarsabal, but the forward missed.
Mehmedi caused a save by De Gea, but this was the only serious situation the guests came to after the break and he logically ended up losing for the sixteenth time in 21 games against the Iberians, against whom they only have one victory.
