World Cup 2010: The best of day six in pictures

The 2008 European Champions, Spain, began their World Cup campaign against Switzerland this afternoon under the magnificent spider's web roof of Durban Stadium Photograph: Tony O'Brien/Action Images Photograph: Tony O'Brien/guardian.co.uk There's such a surfeit of talent in Vincente Del Bosque's squad that he began the match with the likes of Fernando Torres, Cesc Fábregas and Pepe Reina on the bench. Here, Spain's Gerard Pique leaps with Switzerland's Eren Derdiyok Photograph: Ali Haider/EPA Photograph: Ali Haider/guardian.co.uk Sergio Ramos goes in feet first but gets clattered by Diego Benaglio ... For all the chances they've created, Spain can't seem to find the net Photograph: Doug Pensinger/Getty Images Photograph: Doug Pensinger/guardian.co.uk The Swiss, meanwhile, remain a threat. Here, Derdiyok races into the box and somersaults through the air after colliding with Iker Casillas ... Photograph: Steve Haag/Getty Images Photograph: Steve Haag/guardian.co.uk ... the ball loops up and falls to the feet of Gelson Fernandes who pokes an effort at goal ... Photograph: Jasper Juinen/Getty Images Photograph: Jasper Juinen/guardian.co.uk ... and scores! Ramos and Pique can't believe it Photograph: Julie Jacobson/AP Photograph: Julie Jacobson/guardian.co.uk Spain apply concerted pressure in the second half. Here, David Villa looks to splice Steve Von Bergen and Tranquillo Barnetta, but is dispossessed Photograph: Karim Jaafar/AFP/Getty Images Photograph: Karim Jaafar/guardian.co.uk Xabi Alonso unleashes a fierce strike, which beats the Swiss keeper but rattles the crossbar. No joy, and time is running out Photograph: Jasper Juinen/Getty Images Photograph: Jasper Juinen/guardian.co.uk Switzerland's Stephan Lichtsteiner and Spain's Pedro Rodriguez simultaneously hit the deck Photograph: Steve Haag/Getty Images Photograph: Steve Haag/guardian.co.uk The game ends 1-0 to Switzerland - the shock result of the tournament thus far. Just look at Xavi Hernandez's face. Spain have been beaten for only the second time in 49 games.

Photograph: Matt Dunham/AP Photograph: Matt Dunham/guardian.co.uk A deflection sees the ball rise into the air and over the head of goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune. It's 1-0 to Uruguay Photograph: Shawn Thew/EPA Photograph: Shawn Thew/guardian.co.uk Forlan legs it around the Loftus Versfeld stadium in delight Photograph: Shawn Thew/EPA Photograph: Shawn Thew/guardian.co.uk After his glorious performance in the first match, it's all going wrong for Khune tonight. He trips Luis Suarez in the 80th minute - though Suarez was looking for it - and the referee awards a penalty Photograph: Stuart Franklin/Getty Images Photograph: Stuart Franklin/guardian.co.uk Worse still, Khune gets sent off, Forlan nets the penalty and Uruguay go on to win 3-0. A bad night all round for South Africa, then Photograph: Stuart Franklin/Getty Images Photograph: Stuart Franklin/guardian.co.uk Here's that Forlan penalty - an absolute corker. Top corner, calmly as you like Photograph: Clive Mason/Getty Images Photograph: Clive Mason/guardian.co.uk And here's Alvaro Pereira scoring the third goal in graceless fashion. It was a header, in case you're wondering. Seriously Photograph: Amr Abdallah Dalsh/Reuters Photograph: Amr Abdallah Dalsh/guardian.co.uk Could this signal the end of South Africa's participation in the tournament? They've only France left to play, and chances are they'll need to win that one Photograph: Stuart Franklin/Getty Images Photograph: Stuart Franklin/guardian.co.uk Earlier in the day there was a American derby between Honduras and Chile ... The smart money went on a Chilean victory, what with them having finished second in the Conmebol qualifying group and Honduras being a side who like to play it safe (and dull) with a 4-5-1 formation Photograph: Streeter Lecka/Getty Images Photograph: Streeter Lecka/guardian.co.uk The teams and officials line up in the tunnel before the match Photograph: Ryan Pierse /FIFA via Getty Images Photograph: Ryan Pierse /guardian.co.uk Chile start strongly and Jorge Valdivia leaves Honduras's Wilson Palacios on his backside as he makes a surging run forward Photograph: Valery Hache/AFP/Getty Images Photograph: Valery Hache/guardian.co.uk All eyes are on Chile's striker Jean Beausejour as he jumps highest for the ball Photograph: Yuri Cortez/AFP/Getty Images Photograph: Yuri Cortez/guardian.co.uk Alexis Sanchez, left, manages to evade the outstretched leg of Edgard Alvarez Photograph: Bernat Armangue/AP Just after the half-hour mark, Chile's superior play and possession pays off when an excellent move culminates in the opening goal of the game. The ball went from the half-way line to the back of the net in four passes and approximately six seconds. Matias Fernandez started it with a zippy pass to Valdivia, who in turn threaded it behind the Honduras defence to Mauricio Isla. Isla then pulled it back for Beausjour, who bundled the ball home at the back post Photograph: Ed Sykes/Action Images Photograph: Ed Sykes/guardian.co.uk Honduras make a rare foray forward, but the danger passes as Chile's goalkeeper Claudio Bravo gathers Photograph: Martin Bernetti/AFP/Getty Images Photograph: Martin Bernetti/guardian.co.uk Right at the start of the second half, Honduras are denied a penalty when the referee Maillet fails to spot what everybody else can see as plain as the nose on their face - Edgar Alvarez of Honduras being tripped by Gary Medel in the box Photograph: Ryan Pierse/FIFA via Getty Images Photograph: Ryan Pierse/guardian.co.uk Jorge Valdivia finds himself as the meat in a Honduran sandwich Photograph: Michael Mayhew/Sportsphoto Photograph: Michael Mayhew/guardian.co.uk The Honduran keeper Noel Vallardes flings himself to his right and makes a fantastic point-blank save. Chile miss a number of other chances in the second half and the game finishes 1-0, a scoreline which flatters the defeated Hondurans Photograph: Mike Hewitt/FIFA via Getty Images Photograph: Mike Hewitt/guardian.co.uk
