JOHANNESBURG — Spain's potent attack couldn't score a goal. South Africa fell desperately close to elimination. Chile did something for the first time in 48 years.

It was a wild Wednesday at the World Cup.

Spain's 1-0 loss to Switzerland ended a 12-match winning streak for the European Champions, who have fallen only twice in 50 games, both of them in South Africa. The United States beat the Spaniards 2-0 in the Confederations Cup a year ago.

Diego Forlan scored twice, the first multigoal game by a player this year, and Uruguay defeated South Africa 3-0. Bafana Bafana must be France in its last first-round game or it will become the first host country not to advance in a World Cup.

Chile earned its first victory in a World Cup in exactly 48 years by beating Honduras 1-0.

Gelson Fernandes gave Switzerland the Group H win after running through the Spanish defense and shooting in a loose ball after a scramble in front of the net that left goalkeeper Iker Casillas chasing from behind.

"To be fair, I'm not used to scoring goals, so I was a bit surprised," Fernandes said.

Probably was, considering Spain had 24 shots and the Swiss managed eight.

"Today wasn't our day," Spain coach Vicente del Bosque said.

Spain dominated possession and created attack after attack in Durban, but the stifling Swiss defense manage to withstand it all and record Switzerland's first win over the Spaniards.

The closest Spain came to scoring was in the 72nd minute when Xabi Alonso's hit the cross bar.

Switzerland was knocked out of the last World Cup on penalties by Ukraine in the round of 16 without conceding a goal in the tournament. The Swiss have now gone 490 minutes without conceding a World Cup goal.

Uruguay has four points from two games in Group A, while South Africa has one and needs to beat France on Tuesday to have any chance to stay in the competition.
