68' - GOAL! Xherdan Shaqiri brings Switzerland level against Spain!
A mix-up in the Spain defence between Aymeric Laporte and Pau Torres allows Remo Freuler to collect the ball on the edge of the penalty box. He unselfishly set up Shaqiri, who sweeps his low, right-footed effort into the far corner

Switzerland vs Spain
56' - Close from Denis Zakaria. Ricardo Rodriguez takes the corner and send it in the back post as the Swiss who netted an own goal, puts his cushioned header agonisingly wide.
Switzerland vs Spain
54' - Alvaro Morata is replaced by Gerard Moreno.
Switzerland vs Spain
50' - Aymeric Laporte with a beautiful cross-field pass from defence to find Dani Olmo, who in turn, puts in a delightful cross into the middle of the penalty box. Koke gets his head to the ball but it was behind him and thus could not generate much power on his effort as Yann Sommer collects comfortably.
Switzerland vs Spain
47' - Dani Olmo is played in behind by a lifted ball from Alvaro Morata. His shot is saved by Yann Sommer but the referee calls play back as Morta himself was off-side
2nd Half!
Spain and Switzerland get us back underway... can the Swiss make a comeback in the game?
Meanwhile, Pablo Sarabia is replaced by Dani Olmo.
HALF TIME! Denis Zakaria's own goal is the difference as Spain lead Switzerland at the break!
Switzerland midfielder Denis Zakaria’s own-goal is the 10th of the Euro 2020. There have been more own-goals at Euro 2020 than the previous 15 tournaments combined.
Zakaria stuck out his leg and deflected a shot by Spain defender Jordi Alba into the net. The goal was originally awarded to Alba but UEFA later changed it.
Switzerland vs Spain
41' - Xherdan Shaqiri plays Steven Zuber with a beautiful ball in behind as the Swiss player is one-on-one with Spain's keeper Unai Simon. He is brought down and the referee blows his whistle... only for him to signal for off-side.
Switzerland fans are making some noise inside the half-full Saint Petersburg Stadium by clanking cowbells ahead of their team’s quarterfinal match against Spain at the European Championship.
It is a sound synonymous with Swiss fans in Alpine skiing...
...meanwhile, a familiar face in the crowd!
