Spain shocker, Swiss stunner

here are the results for the final group(GROUP H)



Honduras 0-1 Chile
Jean Beausejour scored the only goal as Chile beat Honduras 1-0 in their group H opening match to secure their first World Cup victory in 48 years. despite the pressure by Chile, the South Americans failed to kill the game off, and at times the Hondurans looked dangerous on the counter-attack. Honduras are still looking for their first World Cup win. OVERALL - very little to separate these two teams, but Chile had the goal, and that is what made the difference in this match.



Spain 0-1 Switzerland
Switzerland pulled off possibly the biggest shock of the 2010 World Cup so far when they beat European champions Spain 1-0. it was their first-ever victory over Spain in 19 games. a scrappy goal by Gelson Fernandez against the run of play was enough to see the Swiss get all three points. OVERALL - Spain had most of the possession and goalscoring opportunities, but did not make the most of them. credit to the Swiss, who persevered against a stronger side and were rewarded.
