Spain thrashed Switzerland 5-1 in the round of 16 of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup to reach the quarterfinals on Saturday.

In 11, Spain defender Laia Codina passed a back-pass to the goalkeeper Cata Coll, but the goalkeeper moved away, and didn't stop the ball from going into the net.

It proved a minor blip for La Roja, one of the favorites to win the competition.

In front of 43,217 fans at Eden Park, Spain controlled the game early, and scored four goals, despite Codina’s own goal.

Redondo scored in 17 before Bonmatí got her the second in 36 after she scored the equalizer for her team in 5.

During the second half, Codina sent an apology to her team by scoring the fourth for the Spanish.

The second half witnessed Spain's domination possession, and Jennifer Hermoso scored the fifth.
