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.
SOW CAUTIONED
Djibril Sow has already committed multiple fouls since coming on, the referee has no choice but to book him for this one.
Yellow card
D. Sow
THREE MINUTES ADDED TIME
Can the Swiss find an equaliser?
HUGE CHANCE SWITZERLAND
Diego Llorente slips and his attempted clearance falls right at the feet of Seferovic who has time to place his shot, but his shot is blocked by Pau Torres.
SIMON DOES A MADNESS
Spain's goalkeeper races out of his box again and collides with Haris Seferovic. The loose ball squirms out to Embolo who tries to lift the ball into an empty net from 30 yards but it drops just wide.
ASENSIO TESTS SOMMER
The Spanish substitute gets his shot off but Sommer gets behind it to deny him.

BIG TACKLE XHAKA
Llorente drives into the Swiss box but Granit Xhaka slides in to dispossess the Atletico utility man.
SOMMER ALMOST CAUGHT OUT
Comert's backpass to where he expected his goalkeeper to be almost results in disaster, but Sommer races back to clear his lines.
SPAIN CALL FOR REINFORCEMENTS
Koke and Asensio are on to replace Gavi and Morata with 20 minutes to play.
Another excellent display from Gavi while Morata worked hard.

GREAT TACKLE BUSQUETS
Breel Embolo evades the slide of Gavi and looks up for support in midfield but Busquest snaps the ball up like a steel trap.
BRILLIANT MORATA UNLUCKY
Spain's striker charges down the middle of the pitch, hurdles a challenge and races into the box but his cross just evades Ferran Torres who would almost certainly have scored.
AKANJI BOOKED
Manuel Akanji is finally cautioned after yet another late tackle, this time on Alvaro Morata.
Yellow card
M. Akanji
STEFFEN, OKAFOR ON FOR SWISS

SARABIA OFF, DANI OLMO ON

MORATA WINS FOUL SMARTLY
The Juventus striker works his way around Aebischer and then takes off, leaving the midfielder with no choice but to drag him down.
That foul gives Spain the chance to make a substitution.
SPAIN ON THE BACK FOOT AGAIN
Switzerland continue to attack but the Spanish defenders are clearing everything for now.
BUSQUETS FOULED IN MIDFIELD
Shaqiri is cautioned for a foul on Spain's captain. Busquets had already moved the ball on before Shaqiri arrived.
Yellow card
X. Shaqiri
SWISS COOKING UP TROUBLE
Embolo drives down the middle of the pitch and plays it nicely to Shaqiri. The Swiss playmaker pulls it back from the byline but Zuber can't beat Simon to the ball.
Switzerland continue to improve in this second half.
