Switzerland 1-1 Spain (aet, 1-3 pens): Unconvincing La Roja reach Euro 2020 semi-finals after nervy shoot-out

Luis Enrique’s men were dominant throughout and even had a man advantage throughout extra-time, and although their finishing left a lot to be desired, they proved more clinical from 12 yards than the Swiss.

It was a Switzerland player who provided the decisive touch to put Spain one up as Denis Zakaria scored an early own goal, but they capitalised on a defensive error to level through Xherdan Shaqiri in the second period.
