AUCKLAND (Reuters) - After not conceding in the group stage, Switzerland went out of the Women's World Cup in a 5-1 rout by Spain in the last 16 on Saturday, but coach Inka Grings said her players gave everything in the country's second-ever appearance in the global showpiece.

Switzerland also exited the tournament at the last 16 stage in 2015 but had advanced this time around as group winners finishing ahead of Norway and co-hosts New Zealand.
