While it was unlikely that this would have been punished in the past Michael Oliver quickly issued his red card and VAR remained with his decision.Spain was lacking in quality and couldn't make the advantage count during normal times. A tame Moreno shot at target was their only effort of note during the final stages of the 90-minutes. Alba's cross at extra-time brought about a poor miss from the six yard box.Spain's attacking intensity increased as 10-man Switzerland slowed down.
