Spain wrapped up their UEFA Nations League Group 4 campaign with a 3-2 win over Switzerland in Tenerife, securing top spot and qualification for the quarter-finals.

Spain Coach Luis de la Fuente made several changes to the lineup, giving debuts to Samu Omorodion and Aitor Paredes, and handing a rare start to goalkeeper Alex Remiro.

Spain dominated possession early on but struggled to create clear-cut chances, with Alvaro Morata and Nico Williams coming closest.

Yeremi Pino put Spain ahead on home soil in the 32nd minute after Pedri’s penalty was saved.

Captain Alvaro Morata won the penalty and, despite being the one fouled, unselfishly handed the ball to Pedri.

However, the Barcelona midfielder’s spot kick was saved by Swiss goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo.

Switzerland equalized through Joel Monteiro but Spain quickly responded, with Bryan Gil scoring his first international goal to restore the lead.

Switzerland struck back with another penalty by Andi Zeqiri, leveling at 2-2.

In injury time, Bryan Zaragoza’s relentless attacking play paid off. He was fouled in the box and confidently converted his own penalty in the 93rd minute to give Spain a dramatic 3-2 win.
