Wow! That was tense but it’s Spain who advance to the semi-finals. Spare a thought for Ruben Vargas, who is in floods of tears after sending his spot-kick over the bar. Thiago Alcantara tries to console him as the rest of Spain’s players celebrate.
He goes to join them, leaving Granit Xhaka and other Swiss players to comfort the sobbing Vargas. It’s a heroic exit for Switzerland, who can go home with their heads held extremely high.
Three-time champions Spain survived another scare to beat 10-man Switzerland in a dramatic penalty shootout to reach the semi-finals of the European Championship.
They face the winner of Belgium v Italy (20:00 BST kick-off) at Wembley on Tuesday in the semi-finals.
