A first-minute strike by striker Haris Seferovic earned Switzerland a 1-0 victory over Portugal on Sunday as Murat Yakin’s side grabbed their first win in this year’s Nations League. Seferovic put Switzerland ahead 57 seconds into the clash at Stade de Geneve with a close-range header after defender Silvan Widmer set him up with a precise cross inside the area.

Portugal’s efforts intensified following halftime but despite Bernardo Silva’s powerful strike from the edge of the box in the 63rd minute and Diogo Jota’s superb header in the 78th they did not manage to get on the scoresheet.

Switzerland claimed their first victory in 2022 from six games played.

Fernando Santos’ side, unbeaten so far in this year’s competition, were without the Cristiano Ronaldo who was rested, Joao Moutinho and Raphael Guerreiro who did not travel with the rest of the squad.

Spain top table

Goals from Carlos Soler and Pablo Sarabia earned Spain a 2-0 win over the Czech Republic. Last year’s finalists dominated the game from the start and opened the scoring when Soler struck from close range in the 24th minute following a brilliant pass by Man-of-the-Match Marco Asensio.

Substitute Sarabia extended Spain's lead in the 75th minute, finishing a counter-attack started by Barcelona’s 17-year-old midfielder Gavi. The Spaniards, who wore the women’s team jersey to support their female counterparts who will play the Women’s European Championship next month in England, top Group A2 standings with eight points from four matches. Portugal dropped to second with seven points. Third-placed Czech Republic have four points, one ahead of Switzerland.

Making his first start for Spain since November 2020, Asensio provided the pass which Soler fired in from close range.

“It was all perfect,” Soler told TVE.
