MADRID (Reuters) - Mikel Oyarzabal scored early to help an underwhelming Spain secure a scrappy 1-0 victory over Switzerland in the Nations League on Saturday, keeping them top of their group.

The Real Sociedad forward snatched the only goal of the game in the 14th minute after Switzerland tried to play the ball out from the back but failed miserably, leaving Oyarzabal with a simple finish.

Spain lead League A Group 4 with seven points from three games, two points ahead of Germany, who beat Ukraine 2-1. Both were solid during an unexciting clash at the Alfredo di Stefano stadium at Real Madrid's training ground, in which Spain did enough to win but were far from their best. Goalkeeper Yann Sommer tried to take a short goal kick but misplaced his pass to Granit Xhaka, with Mikel Merino nipping in to steal the ball and feed Real Sociedad team mate Oyarzabal, who finished with ease.
