At 22:00 on June 16, Beijing time, Group H of the World Cup ushered in the first round of a focus battle. Spain, the favourites to win the championship, played against Switzerland at Durban Stadium. In the end, thanks to Fernandez's goal, Switzerland beat Spain by 1-0, creating the first surprise of this World Cup.
From the technical statistics after the game, despite losing the game, the Spanish team has an absolute advantage in this game. The matador team shot 25 times, while the Swiss team only shot 9 times. Spain's possession rate reached an astonishing 74%, while the Swiss team only shot 26%.
In other data, the Spanish team also continued its technical advantage, with a passing success rate of only 89.5% and a stealing success rate of 87.5%. This data advantage alone can't help them win the game.
In addition, despite the offensive, the efficiency of the Spanish team is not high, and only five times out of 25 knocking at the door hit the door frame. On the other hand, the Swiss team fought back beautifully, but for the help of the post, the Spanish team would have given up the game long ago.
