Spain rocked as Swiss stand firm

SWITZERLAND celebrated the greatest victory in their history and one of the biggest World Cup upsets of all time by beating a seemingly invincible Spain in Durban yesterday.

Gelson Fernandes, the midfielder cast aside by Manchester City a year ago, scored the only goal at the Moses Mabhida stadium to record his country’s first victory over the Spanish, who had qualified for the finals with a perfect ten wins in ten games.

The Spanish have been heavily tipped by many pundits, even ahead of favourites Brazil, but they once again lived up to their reputation as chokers on the world’s biggest stage.
