Gelson Fernandes scored on a
rare Swiss attack, giving his team a stunning 1-0 upset Wednesday over European champion and tournament favorite Spain.
The loss ended Spain’s run of 12 straight wins and handed the Spanish just their second loss in 50 games—the other was to the United States at the Confederations Cup in South Africa last year.
It also provided a thrill at a tournament that has seen few surprises and just 25 goals after the first game for all 32 teams.
