Spain U21 will be looking to keep their hopes of winning their sixth UEFA U21 Championship title alive when they meet Switzerland U21 in Saturday's quarter-final contest.
Santi Denia's side was denied a clean sweep in the group stage, and Abel Ruiz had to bail out La Rojita once again as Spain picked up a 2-2 draw against Ukraine on Tuesday.
While Spain finished atop Group B owing to a better head-to-head goal difference, the Swiss made it through from Group D thanks to superior head-to-head goals over Italy and Norway.
However, Patrick Rahmen's side would want to bounce back after losing 1-4 against France.
