His Spanish peer Vicente del Bosque said that "Today we did not show our true team personality. It's not a good sign to start the tournament like this, but we have to cope with it. We have to win the next two matches. That's our goal."

On Switzerland's tight defense, Del Bosque said that "everything is possible. You can win in the specific way. We could have scored, but today is not our day."

On the prospect of the Spanish squad, the boss of La Roja said "we know that to play Chile is just as difficult, but we will go to next match with great confidence."

Spain began its campaign with smart passing game in the first half, enjoying comfortable possession and the domination in the midfield.

Valencia striker David Silva fired the first shot of the match in the 7th minute, but goalkeeper Diego Benagolio cleared the danger brought by tame efforts.

A more threatening attack came seven minutes later as Pique diverted the attention of Swiss defenders and gave a powerful thrust before the net.

The nice dance, however, led the ball into the grip of Benagolio again.Although La Roja mounted continuous pressure, the men of Ottmar Hitzfeld held their defense tight.

The first half ended with a goalless draw. The goal of Fernandes boosted the morale of Switzerland to a peak after the interval, forcing Spanish coach del Bosque to put talented core Fernando Torres back to the court as a substitute.
