Switzerland- 12th min Nkufo
Spain- 45th min David Villa
Switzerland- 63rd min Nkufo
...Nkufo was waiting at the back post when the cross came in. A simple finish that shocked the soccer world.
...David Villa drives one into the roof of the net just before the stroke of halftime.
...The 63rd minute brought one of the most bizarre goals ever scored in World Cup history....a through ball was played to Nkufo, but Puyol was goal-side and it didn't look threatening. then out came Casillas who took out his own defender Puyol 25 yards from goal! Nkufo had a gift of a goal that he easily put away from 20 out!!!
...The Swiss clear the ball off the line in the 71st minute to preserve the one goal lead!
...This is surely the greatest victory in the Swiss soccer history.
