There's such a surfeit of talent in Vincente Del Bosque's squad that he began the match with the likes of Fernando Torres, Cesc Fábregas and Pepe Reina on the bench. Here, Spain's Gerard Pique leaps with Switzerland's Eren Derdiyok

Sergio Ramos goes in feet first but gets clattered by Diego Benaglio ... For all the chances they've created, Spain can't seem to find the net

The Swiss, meanwhile, remain a threat. Here, Derdiyok races into the box and somersaults through the air after colliding with Iker Casillas ...

Xabi Alonso unleashes a fierce strike, which beats the Swiss keeper but rattles the crossbar. No joy, and time is running out

The game ends 1-0 to Switzerland - the shock result of the tournament thus far. Just look at Xavi Hernandez's face. Spain have been beaten for only the second time in 49 games.

Forlan legs it around the Loftus Versfeld stadium in delight

After his glorious performance in the first match, it's all going wrong for Khune tonight. He trips Luis Suarez in the 80th minute - though Suarez was looking for it - and the referee awards a penalty

Worse still, Khune gets sent off, Forlan nets the penalty and Uruguay go on to win 3-0. A bad night all round for South Africa, then

Here's that Forlan penalty - an absolute corker. Top corner, calmly as you like

And here's Alvaro Pereira scoring the third goal in graceless fashion. It was a header, in case you're wondering. Seriously

Could this signal the end of South Africa's participation in the tournament? They've only France left to play, and chances are they'll need to win that one

Earlier in the day there was a American derby between Honduras and Chile ... The smart money went on a Chilean victory, what with them having finished second in the Conmebol qualifying group and Honduras being a side who like to play it safe (and dull) with a 4-5-1 formation

Just after the half-hour mark, Chile's superior play and possession pays off when an excellent move culminates in the opening goal of the game. The ball went from the half-way line to the back of the net in four passes and approximately six seconds. Matias Fernandez started it with a zippy pass to Valdivia, who in turn threaded it behind the Honduras defence to Mauricio Isla. Isla then pulled it back for Beausjour, who bundled the ball home at the back post

Right at the start of the second half, Honduras are denied a penalty when the referee Maillet fails to spot what everybody else can see as plain as the nose on their face - Edgar Alvarez of Honduras being tripped by Gary Medel in the box

The Honduran keeper Noel Vallardes flings himself to his right and makes a fantastic point-blank save. Chile miss a number of other chances in the second half and the game finishes 1-0, a scoreline which flatters the defeated Hondurans
