Euro 2021 reaches its defining stages, the quarterfinals, and we’ll have a clash between two teams that struggled to get to this match. Spain and Switzerland compete for the place in the tournament’s semifinal and would face the winner of the game between Italy and Belgium, one of the best teams in the world and this tournament. Both teams had to play overtime in their respective matches; Spain managed to score 2 goals in overtime against Croatia, while Switzerland was surprised by beating world champion France on penalties.
The match between Spain and Switzerland will be played this Friday, July 02, 2021, at the Krestovski Stadium, in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
How do Spain and Switzerland arrive?
After a victory against the current world runners-up, Croatia, the Spanish team comes to this match in overtime with 5-3. The suffering of the Spanish team began in the 20th minute when due to an error by goalkeeper Unai Simon, unable to stop a pass from Pedri, the Croats went up for their own goal. After this, 18 minutes later, due to an excellent play by the Spanish midfield, Pablo Sarabia marked the tie and gave another direction to the game. At minute 57, Azpilicueta scored 2-1, and in minute 77, Ferran Torres seemed to sentence the game with a 3-1. Still, the Croats insisted during the remainder of the game and managed to equalize, surprisingly, the scoreboard with goals in the minutes 85 and 90 + 2, respectively.
This bucket of cold water was taken away by the Spanish in overtime when they overwhelmed Croatia with two goals in the 100th and 103rd minutes to end the aspirations of a tired Croatian team.

On the other side of the court, we will have the surprise team in these quarterfinals, Switzerland. The Swiss come from giving the most decisive blow, so far, so far in Euro 2021, after eliminating one of the favorite teams and current world champion France. As we all thought, France was already in the quarterfinals beating Switzerland comfortably, and that was the way it was during the game, since, after losing 0-1 in the 15th minute, they managed to come back and be 3- 1 on the scoreboard, but, Switzerland insisted and attacked in many ways and managed to equalize with goals in the 81st and 90th minutes. In extra time, both teams did not hurt each other at all and went to penalties, where the only player who missed the penalty and, thanks to this, Switzerland is in the quarterfinals was, surprisingly, the French star Kylian Mbappé.
