I don't think it's been classified as an own goal as it was on target beforehand

Yeah Alba awarded the goal.

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

Swiss corner...

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

way over, that was one of their first real chances of the game

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

Deja vu...Swiss corner headed over

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

1 minute added on at the end of the first half, Spain just hoping to close it out.

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

Half-time. 1-0 to Spain, I feel like it's not a particularly balanced game, a bit disappointing really.

Fire_and_Ice_Returns

I think Spain need to be careful here, Swiss will be good value for an equalizer if they get it.

Fire_and_Ice_Returns

1- 1 Shaquiri

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

1-1! Came out of nowhere

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

Silly mistake from the Spanish really

Fire_and_Ice_Returns

Spain are a bit dodgy at the back.

Yeah, that was a bad mistake, and costly too

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

The Swiss might have energy on their side now, and greater morale.

Fire_and_Ice_Returns

Oh dear Swiss Red card, game over.

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

yeah, that should not have been a red card, yellow at most!

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

they survived 90 minutes with 10 men...

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

Amazing save from Sommer!

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

Another great save from Sommer

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

This is anything but boring now! If it goes to penalties, Switzerland could win!

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

Penalties!

Fire_and_Ice_Returns

Wow high drama with these misses.

Torgeirtrap

This is the worst penalty shootout I've ever seen!

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

Spain win :'(

Fire_and_Ice_Returns

Spain scrape through to the Semi Final, credit to battling Swiss.

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

Ah well, I was only supporting Switzerland because they were the underdogs

yeah, huge credit to Switzerland for the France game as well

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

Belgium vs Italy exciting so far

Quantum_of_Tomorrow

1-0 Italy, that wasn't offside.

Torgeirtrap

Yes, it's been a good game so far. Don't expect a goal fest, but can definitely see both teams scoring.
