If Chile wins, they advance and Switzerland would advance with a win or tie against Honduras. If the Chile wins and the Swiss lose, Spain advances.

If Chile ties, Chile still advances and Spain advances if the Swiss lose or tie. If Chile-Spain tie the Swiss have to win to advance.

If Chile loses, Spain qualifies for sure. If Spain beats Chile (which won't happen), Switzerland needs to beat Honduras by at least 3 to advance in second place.
One correction there (edit: in addition to the correction noted by Girlysports). If Spain loses by 3 and Swiss lose by 1, Swiss advance on GD. If the Swiss lose 2-1 and Spain loses 2-0, both teams would have identical GD and GS, and Swiss would advance on H2H tiebreaker.
