  1. Spain 'didn't give up'published at 22:07 British Summer Time

    FT: Spain 2-0 Switzerland

    Nikita Parris
    England forward on BBC One

    This Spain side were persistent. They kept probing. They didn't give up when chances weren't going their way in the first half. Any time you stay in possession like they do in the final third, it's impossible not to score.

    I think the amount of chances that they created, the possession, the intricate play and the comradery and connectivity this team has is something special. I think they will break many teams down.

    Switzerland did themselves proud tonight. They held on for a long time and it took a special back flick and a nice goal to beat this Swiss side.

    Walti deserves this journey, she deserves the way she has performed. She's worn the captain's armband with so much pride and belief and taken her team on this fabulous journey, this young team. There's so much talent in this side, they've been so exciting to watch. The ceiling is there.

    The challenge now is can they compete in the Nations League with the European elite and continue to grow as a nation.

    Steph Houghton
    Former England captain on BBC One

    The tournament has been fantastic, so far. The stadiums, the crowd, they're always full.

    Switzerland have done everyone proud. They're on their own journey to create a legacy.

    For those young players, it is an experience they can build on and get better.

    We knew it would be nothing short of a miracle for Switzerland to get a result tonight, but they can take heart and credit for their performance.

    This is a young team, they will bounce back and qualify for many competitions to come.

    They held Spain for about 60 odd minutes until they scored. That's incredible, they made it difficult, this is a world class outfit but they were frustrated by Switzerland.

    FT: Spain 2-0 Switzerland

    Switzerland can be proud of holding Spain off for so long and for their performance at this entire tournament.

    They look crestfallen as Spain celebrate.

    But the world champions are one step closer to the Euro 2025 final.

    Next up, France or Germany.

    Switzerland's performance tonight, they gave it everything.

    They worked hard as a team and it took a lot for Spain break them down.

    It's like two boxers getting into a ring and you think, 'OK, it could be either'.

    Then you realise one is a heavyweight and one is a middleweight.

  10. 'Right decision'published at 21:51 British Summer Time

    Spain 2-0 Switzerland

    Izzy Christiansen
    Former England midfielder on BBC 5 Live

    There aren't too many complaints from the Swiss players. It's a one-v-one against Paralluelo who's just got the sheer pace and power.

    Maritz is the last player and it's the right decision.

    We're into the third of three minutes of added time.

  12. RED CARD - Maritzpublished at 90+2 mins

    Spain 2-0 Switzerland

    Oh it's all going off now in the final few minutes.

    Noelle Maritz is shown a red card for a late foul on Salma Paralluelo.

    Felt a little harsh but there we go.

  13. 'Terrible penalty'published at 21:49 British Summer Time

    Spain 2-0 Switzerland

    Izzy Christiansen
    Former England midfielder on BBC 5 Live

    I can't believe it. Another missed penalty and this time from probably the best penalty taker in the tournament bar Guro Reiten and Lucy Bronze.

    Terrible penalty, she just catches it too straight. It doesn't even go in the corner and Peng just reads it.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 90+1 mins

    Spain 2-0 Switzerland

    And more substitutions for both sides.

    Off: Iman Beney, Sydney Schertenleib and Smilla Vallotto.

    On: Riola Xhemaili, Meriame Terchoun and Alisha Lehmann.

    Switzerland go up the other end almost manage to pull one back but to no avail.

    That penalty miss turns out to be Alexia Putellas' last action in the match and she looks fuming. She's replaced by Lucia Garcia.

  16. 'Strong save from Peng'published at 21:47 British Summer Time

    Spain 2-0 Switzerland

    Rachel Brown-Finnis
    Former England goalkeeper on BBC One

    That is a strong save from Livia Peng. Alexia Putellas absolutely smashed that.

    Putellas goes for power over precision. Peng guessed the right way, and now Putellas comes off.

    Spain 2-0 Switzerland

    Well this is getting ridiculous.

    Alexia Putellas goes to the goalkeeper's left but Livia Peng makes a really good save to deny Spain a third goal.

    Two penalty misses in one match. Wow.

  19. 'Dangerous play'published at 21:45 British Summer Time

    Spain 2-0 Switzerland

    Rachel Brown-Finnis
    Former England goalkeeper on BBC One

    That is a penalty. Admirable attempt from Iman Beney to get back. That will be looked at for dangerous play from Beney.

  20. PENALTY - Spainpublished at 87 mins

    Spain 2-0 Switzerland

    Oh dear. Athenea del Castillo was caught quite badly there by Iman Beney and it's another penalty for Spain.
