Spain vs Switzerland LIVE: Latest Women’s World Cup score and updates

Quality from Spain’s record goalscorer, who joins Bonmati and Redondo on three goals at this World Cup.

FIVE for Spain as Hermoso gets in on the act!

It’s poor from Switzerland as they give the ball away trying to play out from the back, but Spain were so quick once they won it back. It’s rolled through to Hermoso, who opens up her body and steers the finish into the far corner.

61 mins: Redondo cuts onto her left foot but shoots over from the edge of the box. After scoring in the first half the winger is up to three goals for the tournament, which is enough for a tie of second place. Bonmati is now also up to three goals overall.

56 mins: Ah, maybe not! Terchoun, the Swiss sub, plays a one-two with Bachmann and sets up the volley at goal. It’s straight at Coll, but that was a chance in what was Switzerland’s first shot of the whole match.

55 mins: In the group stage, many of the games that were one-sided in the first half were non-events in the second. Let’s hope that’s not the case, but Switzerland look well beaten and it’s been all Spain since the break.

50 mins: It’s obviously a long way back for Switzerland now – Paralluelo goes close with a left-foot shot that is bent towards the far post. Thalmann is equal to it.

Back underway in Auckland! Switzerland make three changes at half time: Sandrine Mauron, Meriame Terchoun and Viola Calligaris and on for Sow, Reuteler and Aigbogun.

Coming up after Switzerland vs Spain is a cracker of a last-16 tie between Japan and Norway. Japan have been the best team at the World Cup so far and now play a Norway side who are growing in confidence after a difficult start to Group A.

“You can see the level of the World Cup is rising, so the women’s game is growing fast,” Norway coach Hege Riise told reporters. “Everyone said it was an easy group, we knew it wasn’t because it was a tight group for us. Playing the home team in the first game and not performing well was a little bit devastating for us.

“But after that we got better step-by-step and when we needed a good win we went on to play Philippines and won 6-0. So confidence in the team is rising.”

Futoshi Ikeda’s Japan side have impressed with their 3-4-3 system, scoring 11 times and keeping three clean sheets in the group stage. “Each player is performing their role,” he said. “They’re not only performing to their own capacity, but they are working as a unit. It’s all about the collective.”

Spain had 18 attempts in the first half. Switzerland had 0.

Codina’s passback was the only attempt on the Spain goal.

Well, that was quite the half from Spain with four goals and an own goal. Aitana Bonmati has been the star with two brilliant goals, but the game turned when Spain responded to conceding a horror own goal with a brilliant attacking performance. Spain have been intense, pressing well, and Switzerland have been overwhelmed.
