Spain In Geneva, he won his first victory in this League of Nations and he did not do it without suffering. Game with 10 men for the team during the first minutes and 10 from the 20th minute, following the expulsion of Le Normand. The team played with their heads a match clearly differentiated in two parts, the turning point being the red card that the Atlético defender saw but in which they finished with enormous sensations, condemning in the final stretch with two goals.
Until then, the European champion was back to her best form. Lamine Yamal And Nicolas Williams They were once again unbalanced, especially the Barça one. The first of the match came from his boots, since he put the center on Joselu after leaving his marker. On a rebound from the Athletic player, the second arrived, the work of Fabián.
All this, in 20 minutes in which the team was far superior, even if the Swiss scored a goal, but it was disallowed for offside. Since the expulsion of The Norman, had to suffer. Switzerland pressed and managed to reduce the gap, but Luis de la Fuente’s team knew how to play with the score at all times.
Fabián was the best again
There is not a game of this team in which Fabián does not show that he is on a par with the best midfielders in the world. On this occasion, the PSG He once again showed his quality and did so by being decisive in the result. Double from the Sevillian to certify the team’s first victory after winning the European Cup.
Ferran is another one with Spain
He returned to his appointment with the goal of the national team. There are still people who wonder how, being so little protagonist, he can still be present, but the fact is that his numbers are Spain They leave no room for doubt. He came on after the break Yamal and ended up providing an assist in the third and scoring the fourth and final goal of the evening in Geneva.
The Norman conditioned the match
The power station Atletico Madrid I made a mistake by missing Piston being the last man. The referee sent him off with a straight red card and, although the VAR reviewed the play for a possible offside early in the game, Carvajal broke the attacker’s illegal position.
It was already the 20th minute Spain He had to defend with one less for the rest of the match. Fortunately, the team’s advantage at that point was two goals ahead, so even though the Swiss insisted, they only managed to break through the goal of Band on one occasion.
VAR was the protagonist
The stops were constant at all times, due to the intervention of the VAR. There were up to five video referee interventions and, in four of them, fortune was on Spain’s side. The first of them, right from the start, to validate the phantom goal of Joselu. Then they disallowed the equalizing goal To rustle, intervened to confirm the expulsion of The Norman and to confirm the referee’s decision to disallow a second Swiss goal.
