Spain clinched a dramatic 3-2 victory over Switzerland in their Nations League encounter in Tenerife, though the match had little bearing on the standings, with Spain already assured of finishing top of their group and Switzerland locked in last place.

The drama unfolded early when Pedri, playing in his hometown, had a penalty saved.

However, his teammate and fellow Canary Islander, Yeremy Pino, was quick to react to the rebound, firing Spain into the lead in the 32nd minute.

Switzerland fought back in the second half, equalizing in the 63rd minute through Joel Monteiro’s well-taken goal.

But Spain restored their advantage just five minutes later, with Bryan Gil putting them 2-1 up.

In a tense final stretch, Switzerland managed to level the score once more when Andi Zeqiri converted a penalty in the 85th minute, bringing the game to 2-2.

However, in a nail-biting conclusion, Bryan Zaragoza kept his composure and coolly converted a penalty in the third minute of added time, securing a dramatic win for Spain.
