'Had there been a third he would take it' - Enrique backs Ramos on penalties

Sergio Ramos had two penalty kicks saved in his European record 177th game for Spain before a late goal by Gerard Moreno earned a 1-1 draw with Switzerland in the Nations League on Saturday.

Both Ramos spot kicks in the 57th and 80th minutes were saved by Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer diving to his right.

The second was a softly struck chip shot that stayed low.

Ramos earned the first penalty by heading the ball against a defender’s arm, and Swiss defender Nico Elvedi was sent off for fouling Alvaro Morata to concede the second.

Switzerland was hanging on with 10 men to protect the lead earned in the 26th by Remo Freuler’s smart half-volley into the top corner.

The leveller in the 89th came from substitute Moreno's shot after racing on to a cross from Sergio Reguilon.

The point dropped Spain into second place in top-tier Group 4, one point behind Germany which beat Ukraine 3-1.

Spain hosts Germany on Tuesday in Seville.

Switzerland stays in last place and can avoid relegation to the Nations League second tier by beating Ukraine on Tuesday.
