XML field extraction with spath

eval FunctionalRef=spath(_raw,"n2:EvtMsg.Bd.BOEvt.Evt.DatElGrp{2}.DatEl.Val") -> I am getting two(2) values DHL5466256965140262WH3, DE4608089.  

Instead I should get only DHL5466256965140262WH3.  So this value is not static

XML Snippet:

<DatElGrp Cd="CommonGrp">
<DatEl>
<Cd>FunctionalRef</Cd>
<Val>DHL5466256965140262WH3</Val>
</DatEl>
<DatEl>
<Cd>DeclarantID</Cd>
<Val>DE4608089</Val>
</DatEl>
</DatElGrp>
