As England defeats weaker team Switzerland, thei archrival France was defeated by Spain 1-0 in a friendly match. Both teams are Euro 2008 qualifiers, but France is considered a much stronger opponent despite a lower ranking than Spain in the FIFA World Rankings (Spain #4 vs France's #7).
Spain's victory, despoite only a friendly, was a big one that avenged a 3-1 loss to France in the 2006 World Cup. However, Coach Aragones admitted that France is a dangerous team and that they were lucky to have scored the game winner at the 85th minute and that France was extremely unlucky (with several big chances to equalize) in the last five minutes.
Here is a youtube clip of Spain's only goal of the match:
