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 gamesâ€"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.

World Cup is always filled with surprising wins and surprising defeats. Spain has been expected to win the championship trophy this year but according to the latest tally, it's Chile who ranks 2nd in Group 8. Spain must win the next two matches or face elimination.

my goodness!  hinoon, lingin gyod tuod ang bola.  besides, underdogs hold their own charms.  switzerland may be at the low end of the totem pole of football, but it had its sweet revenge some years back when a game was played in that country.  daliang nawad-an ug ginhawa ang players from other countries tungod sa height sa switzerland from the sea level.
