After Michael Oliver brandished his red card to put the Swiss down to ten, and considering they played 120 minutes on Monday, you’d have to consider Spain firm favourites to win this in extra-time.
They had a GOLDEN opportunity to do so, too, with Villarreal marksman Gerard Moreno having it put on a plate for him, but it was an opportunity he squandered.
