European champions Spain will try to erase the disappointment of their opening defeat when they face Honduras tonight. It's a must win game for Vicente Del Bosque, and <a href="http://soccernet.espn.go.com/preview?id=264075&cc=5739&ver=global" target="_blank">here's our preview</a>.

What a remarkable end to the game. Chile should have wrapped the game up with the amount of chances they had but Derdiyok had a excellent chance to earn the Swiss a point. The referee was abysmal, sending Behrami off and basically taking the Swiss out of the game as an attacking force, but fair play to Chile - their approach in this World Cup is great.

<b>FULL TIME</b> The Swiss launch a last assault and Chile are two on two at the back but the final whistle has gone, Chile have done it!
