Spain has beaten Switzerland to reach the Euro semi-final

Mikel Oyarzabal, from Spain, hit the winning penalty following a shooting by the Swiss Ruben Vargas, as Spain won a 3-1 shooting in their quarter-final European Championship in Saint Petersburg on Friday.

When Jordi Alba’s shot from beyond the box, Denis Zakaria, was transferred to the net in open play, Spain gained an early lead. But Xherdan Shaqiri took the advantage that he had made a defensive mistake of 1-1, before Swiss player Remo Freuler lost 77 minutes to a straight red vehicle.

Not surprisingly, Spain has dominated extra time and created several chances for spot kicks as Switzerland, maybe aware that its opponents had missed their last five fines, including two in a League match in November.

Spain will play in the semi-finals in London on Tuesday to encounter the winner of Friday’s quarter final – Belgium against Italy in Munich.
