Spain coach Vincente Del Bosque said that Switzerland did not deserve their shocking 1-0 victory over the European champions after their World Cup Group H match here on Wednesday.
During the match, Gelson Fernandes scored the winning goal as the Swiss executed coach Ottmar Hitzfeld's game plan to perfection and frustrated Del Bosque's dominant side.
"I feel it's an excessive prize for them considering the football they displayed," Del Bosque said. "They played a defensive game and tried to take advantage of any counter-attack and dead-ball situation.
"They did play well in defence. We came for the win and this time it has escaped us."
Spain dominated in possession and had numerous strikes on target, even hitting the woodwork, but failed to score.
"We tried to find solutions on our wings, putting on another striker in Fernando Torres," added Del Bosque. "Our football is not just to have ball possession but also find depth in our play. We had opportunities especially in the first half to have resolved the game.
"It's not a good sign we send to our rivals. But we have to hit back and try to win our next two group games."
Spain must beat Chile and Honduras in the remaining gropu games to be assured of progressing, but Del Bosque will not change his attacking style in favour of a more conservative approach.
"Each game is different," he said. "We have arrived up to here playing a certain way and we will not lose our identity. In football you can always lose but I feel a sense of avenging this defeat."
