Spain suffered a shocking 2-1 loss to Switzerland on Saturday while Portugal have boosted their chance to the semi-finals of the Nations League after a convincing 4-0 win over the Czech Republic on the same day. Luis Enrique’s Spain conceded the first defeat in the group in five games, losing to the Swiss 2-1 at home.

The visitors took the lead in the 21st minute when Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji got the better of Cesar Azpilicueta in the air at a corner and nodded past Unai Simon. It was also the 27-year-old’s first international goal in 43 caps. “Our first half was as imprecise as any since I’ve been in charge. I can’t remember a match with so many technical errors, especially on the two corners where we conceded goals.” said Enrique after the first defeat in nine games.
