Football: The Swiss scores in Spain

The Fribourgeois is a safe bet as number two. Audacious with the ball, he takes out Pedri's penalty, as well as several Spanish strikes. Powerless on all three goals.

Logically less prominent offensively than against Serbia, he mainly defended in front of Nico Williams. It was sometimes conclusive, and other times much more complicated.

With his usual limits, he caught a few shots in defense. In the game, it's more difficult. At best, a replacement. Nothing more.

It's not his favorite position, and we can sense it. The penalty he conceded in the first half was very naive, and its impact was frankly limited.

For his first selection, the Hamburg full-back undoubtedly showed a reliable left foot. But he will have been very discreet. Although the context didn't help.

No more, no less. Activity, certainly. He plugs holes and moves around a lot, but for no return.

We felt that it was not the most important match of his career with the national team. A little careless on a restart in the first period, he tried to convey calm with the ball. But without impulse.

Established on the right flank, we almost didn't see him during the half-time he played. Not impactful enough in the game, and above all very messy when it was served. Replaced at the break by Monteiro.

The surprise guest of this eleven, although already reworked. This position of number ten is undoubtedly not the one where he expresses himself best, but we must recognize that he has a lot of energy and will. Not everything was perfect, but it showed up. Replaced by Rieder in the 60th.

For his first start with the Swiss team, the Genevan took a while to get into his game. He misses a simple check on his first situation. Then, he freed himself a little and found creativity until his release for Okafor in the 72nd.

As much as he had convinced during the last outings, he had a lot of difficulty existing this time, to the point of having to go down a lot to touch a few balls. It is not said that he must be a number nine who acts alone up front. Replaced at the break by Zeqiri.

The Valaisan scored points, even if he missed his first opportunity at the start of the half. But his percussion goal showed real qualities, which could be useful to the national team. To see again.

A bit like Amdouni, the role of sole striker is not the one that suits him best. Discreet, until his penalty. His first goal in the Swiss jersey.

Involved from the moment he entered the game. He was behind Monteiro's goal, on a superb crossbar, then it was he who won the penalty for 2-2. But it is also he who very naively concedes that of 3-2.

In the center, he exists, and he has qualities to showcase: his availability, his impact, his left foot, his strike. We will have seen a few small samples of all this during his half hour.

Noah Okafor hasn't played enough to be rated.
