    Dan: Without wishing to jinx Switzerland, has a team ever won consecutive penalty shoot outs at a Euros?

    Pau Torres tries a sneaky backheel at the near post but Yann Sommer is alert to the danger and scoops up the ball.

    All Spain, though.

    Switzerland 1-1 Spain

    Oooohhh, almost another deflected goal for Spain as Dani Olmo's shot takes a huge deflection off Gerard Moreno but this time the ball flies wide of the far post.

    That would have been a cruel blow for Switzerland.

    A fierce effort from distance by Jordi Alba is tipped over by Yann Sommer and Spain have a corner. The ball is sent to the back post but Sommer catches comfortably from Marcos Llorente's header.

    This is going to be a long, uncomfortable watch for Switzerland fans because their side, now down to 10 men, look to be set up to try and take this to penalties. It is attack versus defence at the moment.

    He should be scoring, it's a lovely ball, he gets ahead of his man. All he has to do is guide it towards the goal. That was a big chance.

    What a chance for Gerard Moreno! He should have scored.

    It all starts from a brilliant threaded ball through the defence by Pedri for Jordi Alba, who plays a first-time cross into the area and Moreno looks certain to slam home but somehow shins it wide.

    For Switzerland it will be all about stopping the Spanish and taking it to penalties. I can't see them trying to nick this game.

    Belgium v Italy (20:00 BST)

    Two bits of big team news from the late game - Kevin de Bruyne and Giorgio Chiellini are fit and start.

    Belgium midfielder De Bruyne has recovered from an ankle injury in time - but Eden Hazard misses out though with a thigh problem.

    Teenager Jeremy Doku replaces Hazard in the only change from the win over Portugal.

    Italy make two changes from their extra-time win over Austria. Captain Chiellini and Federico Chiesa replace Francesco Acerbi and Domenico Berardi.

    Guillem Balague
    Spanish football journalist on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Switzerland were the better side after half-time, no doubt about it.

    They attacked with numbers and they smelt it was their time. They were waiting for a mistake, and that mistake happened. It's another display of weakness at the back from Spain.

    It's a circus. Spain in the second half were awful.

    This is the second time Spain have gone to extra time twice at one major tournament, after the 2002 World Cup, when they were eliminated by South Korea in the quarter-finals.

    The Swiss have done really well with 10 men, they've worked incredibly hard.

    Spain haven't committed enough men going forward, they haven't done enough.

    Switzerland are here on merit.

    You sense there'll be one chance for both of these sides before the 90 minutes are up.

    Switzerland 1-1 Spain

    Silvan Widmer tries to force his way through the Spain back line but Jordi Alba is able to thump away the danger. Momentum takes him into Widmer and he's down having taken a knock but Michael Oliver is concerned enough to bring back play to make sure he is OK.
