It's something when the tournament favourites get mugged 1-0 by a team that they would have expected to best. A scrambled goal by Fernandes plus resolute defending from a defensive Swiss side was enough to take them past a Spanish team packed full of world-class players.
Even new talent Jesus Navas and Fernando Torres, thrown on in the second half by coach Vicente del Bosque, couldn't make a difference, Torres looking only about 70 per cent fit, struggling with pace and control.
Also today, Chile were less than convincing with their 1-0 defeat of Honduras, so it would appear that it's all to play for in Group H.
