Spain still without winning, even if before Italy He touched victory. We had to wait until the 85th minute to see the goal of the world champion, who seemed to regain victory after the setback of the Olympic Games, thanks to a suspenseful goal from Alba Redondo. But Beccari He wiped the smile off the face of the national team a few minutes later, after a corner, to prevent the Tomé team from leaving with good feelings from this break, since they were already tied against Canada.
It was not an easy match for the national team, which experienced very important defeats in its eleven. Beyond the absence in the Ballon d’Or concentration, Aitana Bonmati, Laia Aleixandri and Mariona Caldentey were eliminated in the clash against Italy. Additionally, players like Jenni Hermoso And Alexia Putellas, who went to Paris for the gala on Monday, were not at the party.
Another of the candidates for the World’s Best Player award made the list, Patri Guijarro, and the scorer of the match against Canada, a Cristina Martín-Prieto who lost goals to Benfica and who confirmed himself as an excellent option against the North Americans. Sheila, Amaiur, Lucía Garcia And Vicki Lopez They also entered from the beginning.
But it cost the Spanish team dearly, against a team that grew a lot last year. This has already been demonstrated in Pontevedra Less than a year ago they were tough to crack, and after a season in which calcium feminine has continued to grow, they have once again complicated the lives of those of Montsé Tomé.
Neither the coach nor the team itself has good memories. Italy. Last December, the first defeat after the World Cup came at home, against them. It was with a comeback that included a most surreal episode, since Aitana Bonmatí requested the change at halftime and did not have time to execute it, starting the second half with one less and seeing how the Azurra He takes the opportunity to equalize.
Spain does not start against Italy
On this occasion, Spain arrived with the need to dispel the doubts it had since the Games, but it did not succeed. They managed to take the advantage, although it was already in the final stretch, when they attacked with everything. Alexia, Athena either Alba Redondo They had already entered the field and it was the new Real Madrid striker who was responsible for scoring the first goal of the evening in Vicenza.
By the way Alexie, who opened his incorporation into the attack, Redondo hit it with the chance that one of the defenders deflected towards the goal with a lofted ball against which Giuliani could do nothing. Spain loved victory in 1985, but the joy did not last long. From a corner in the 88th minute, the equalizing goal came from a header Beccari, against which Cata Coll could do nothing.
Equality does not help dispel the doubts of Selection. In these first matches after the Olympic Games, which will serve as a filming Euro 2025, Spain failed to regain victory. We will have to wait until the next break, when they face France, to try to get back on the path to victory and rediscover the good feelings.
