The Portugal-Spain will be on September 27.

“We made a mistake at the beginning and that cost us dearly”, Fernando Santos assumed about Haris Seferovic’s goal, as well as assessing that his team reacted and looked for a good result, “but the ball did not go in”.
“We knew that Switzerland would push hard. A goal conceded after 60 seconds made it difficult for the team to find themselves, but then they started to pick up their game. Switzerland only had one more chance,” said the Portugal coach.
“The second half was completely ours after the first was not from Switzerland. The team did everything they had to do, chances were created, but more definition was missing. It was the anguish of wanting to win,” he told Sport TV.
