Spain are through to the semi-finals of Euro 2020 after outlasting Switzerland 3-1 in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw in their quarter-final on Friday evening at Krestovsky Stadium in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
An own goal gave Spain a dream start, but a defensive error led to an equaliser for the Swiss. Jordi Alba effort from distance took a deflection off of Swiss midfielder Denis Zakaria and caromed into the Swiss net.
But the equaliser came from A mix-up from Aymeric Laporte and Pau Torres resulted in the ball falling to the feet of Remo Freuler, who quickly fed Xherdan Shaqiri and the finish went right through the legs of Azpilicueta and past Unai Simon to make it 1-1.
But Switzerland were reduced to ten following a red card for Remo Freuler tilted things in favour of Spain.
