Swiss stun Spain – Spain 0-1 Switzerland

Last of the opening games
So far it’s been quite boring
El Suisse stunned Europe’s top dogs
Battling Gelsen Fernandes scoring

Casillas the rock between the sticks
Canny Del Bosque’s trusted campaigner
Startling riches with Jesus on the bench
Victor Valdes and Pepe Reina

For Fabregas no starting place
Iniesta through a barrier of pain
El Toro not judged match fit
In Durban the Spanish domain

Xavi weaved fancy patterns
Casillas plunging like a scuba diver
Derdiyok with nearly a second
Xabi close with a brutal piledriver
