The Spanish team has not achieved the miracle that everyone expected. They have lost to the host team of the European Championship when everything was in their favor to reach the semi-finals. Here are the hits and misses:
SUCCESSES
Spain began dominating, with a superior march to England. He had a clear chance at the exit of a corner that could have made it 0-1. From then on, the team’s physical decline was evident and the English began to have the ball.
England planned the game in such a way that they did not come out to press to wait for Spain in the creation zone. Once the first line of English pressure was broken, the ideas did not prosper. The clear chances took a long time to arrive.
They sought to move the English from side to side. No hurry. In the first half it was useless to rush for the goal, they did not succeed. After several clear arrivals where the brand-free full-backs arrived, the goal by Real Madrid striker Esther González ended up coming.
MISTAKES
Despite the control obtained in the first half, England had several occasions on the counter where they could put land in between. Accumulating so many people upstairs can be expensive for Jorge Vilda’s.
The goal condemned Spain. It was to get ahead on the scoreboard and give England all the prominence. With the atmosphere of a comeback and with the support of their fans, the English turned the scoreboard around in extra time.
