Switzerland stunned its host Spain 2-1 today, Saturday, to lose the host of the second group in the first level of the European Football League, in favor of Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo, which rained the net against its host Czech 4-0.
The balance of Spain, the runner-up of the title, stopped at 8 points in second place behind Portugal, which jumped to the top with 10 points, while the balance of the Czech Republic stood at 4 points in the fourth and last place.
Portugal controlled the ball and opened the scoring after 33 minutes when Rafael Leao crossed into the penalty area and Diego Dalot turned it into the net.
Fernandez doubled the score before the end of the first half when he penetrated into the area and took advantage of a cross pass to score from close range, and then Patrick Schick hit a penalty kick over the crossbar, so the Czechs missed the opportunity to reduce the difference before the break.
Dalot scored his second goal shortly after the start of the second half, while Diogo Jota completed the quartet in the 82nd minute to make the 2019 champions a step away from the semi-finals.
Switzerland stuns Spain
Switzerland stunned its host Spain 2-1, thanks to the double of Manuel Akanji and Brill Empolo, to lose the host of the first group in the first level of the European Nations League, one round before the end of the group stage.
Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, can qualify for the semi-finals if they draw at home with Spain, who have no alternative but to win in Braga next Tuesday.
Switzerland is in third place with six points, two points ahead of the Czech Republic. The two teams meet next Tuesday in the face of avoiding relegation to the second level.
