FULL-TIME
Sow's last-second half-volley is blocked and he is screaming for the corner to be taken but the referee points to his watch and the game is over.
Spain win narrowly but deservedly, 1-0 in Geneva. Switzerland's disastrous start continues, three successive defeats and only one goal scored in 270 minutes of UEFA Nations League play.
91'
SOW CAUTIONED
