Sommer – Reborn
His first two interventions were terrible and seemed to invite the Spanish to test him more, but in the second half he emerged as the Swiss hero by stopping two penalties from Sergio Ramos. Nothing could do in the goal of Gerard Moreno.
Fernandes – solid
The Spanish goal came through his band, but in general it was good and prevented Reguilón and company from creating too much danger there.
Elvedi – Expelled
He will miss the match against Germany after being sent off in the penalty he committed on Álvaro Morata.
Akanji – Firm
He entered the eleven for the sanctioned Schar and fully complied. He will repeat with the Newcastle central defender against Ukraine due to the loss of Elvedi.
Richard
Rodriguez -Required
He was overtaken countless times by a Ferran Torres percussed for his band over and over again. His hands were the first penalty in favor of Spain.
Xhaka – Candid
He was correct, although he didn't use his great long-range shot to try to unsettle Unai Simón.
Freuler – Artist
He drew an impossible parable before which Unai Simón could do nothing.
Shaqiri – centered
He had the goal in hand to hand that Unai Simón took him. He centered his position to block Busquets' ball exit and left the right wing for Embolo.
Zuber – Lazy
He should have demanded more defensively seeing that Ricardo Rodríguez was having a hard time with Ferran Torres.
Plunger – Hyperactive
He surprised entering on a right wing that left Reguilón orphaned. That's where Freuler's goal was born, which was perfectly assisted by the Gladbach forward. It also helped in defensive tasks.
Seferovic – Brawler
He had them with Pau Torres and Ramos throughout the game. The Spanish captain prevented him from scoring after an outing for grapes from Unai Simón.
THE
CHANGES
Sow – ineffective
He entered for Shaqiri to give more consistency to the Swiss midfield, but could not contain the Spanish gale at the end of the game.
Steffen – hidden
He was barely seen in the 20 'he played.
Omeragic – Guardian
He avoided greater evils by preventing Sergio Ramos from heading a great Adama center with 1-1 on the scoreboard.
Mehmedi – Pawn
He replaced Embolo with the sole objective of wasting time.
