Spain did not play a good first half, but could well have gone into the break with an advantage. In the absence of football, he had occasions in favor and an incomprehensible goal disallowed against. Riquelme ran in search of a long ball that he could not reach. There was a lot of advantage for the goalkeeper Neshcheret, who caught the ball, prepared to serve quickly and hit his own body with the ball in an even comical way. Riquelme had stayed there, he took it and scored, but it was all so incomprehensible that not even the Lithuanian Donatas Rumsas was capable of thinking that nothing illegal had happened. He whistled for a foul and canceled the goal.

Before, Camello had already had a very clear opportunity after Ocheretko gave a pass to the center of the area… Right on the rival. But the Atlético attacker could not go one-on-one with the goalkeeper, who later won a duel again. There were three unbeatable opportunities, and none went inside. Once again the team lacked aim.

But the worst thing this time is that he was also lacking game. Ukraine had possession and dominated through the ball and Nazarenko’s speed down the right side. Spain also gave away an occasion in a wrong pass from Agirrezabala that ended with Viunnyk and Gila on the ground and with Guillamón having to clear the ball as it slowly went to the net. The selection was not found until half an hour and just when it was at its best was when Nazarenko caught it on the counter and crossed wonderfully so that Viunnyk scored with a header. A fast and very precise move.

Santi Denia had rotated the entire team (only Sancet repeated) and perhaps that is why the poor performance is explained. But the show behind the Ukraine was not over and as soon as the second half began, the tie came in another circus action and also bad luck. Riquelme won the defense, and his cross into the area was cleared by Syrota, but what the center-back did was hit his teammate Zhelizko with a ball and make the ball bounce like a pinball and go inside the goal.

The equalizer made the match fall asleep, which was not a bad deal for Santi Denia’s boys. But on the day of the mistakes, Leo Román’s penalty (the third goalkeeper entered at halftime) transformed by Sudakov made Spain rush. He went for another goal, opened up, the match went a bit crazy and Abel Ruiz scored a great game in the last minute before the addition to secure first place. He was unmarked, dribbled with his heel and resolved from below. A great luxury in a game in general run over. Spain will play the quarterfinals on Saturday at 9:00 p.m. (it will be seen on La1) against France, Switzerland or Italy.
