Spain could not go from a draw to zero against Sweden in the debut of the National Team in this European Championship . Álvaro Morata missed a sung goal and Dani Olmo was the most different from a national team that crashed into a yellow wall.
Unai Simón – APPROVED
No work for the whole game. He only suffered a scare after a shot by Isak that Llorente cleared against the post and the ball ended up in his hands. Sweden was not able to shoot at their goal.
Marcos Llorente – NOTABLE
Good in attack and savior in defense. Between the Atlético player and the stick they avoided Isak’s goal. As the minutes passed, Sweden gave up the attack, which allowed them to live in the rival field.
Pau Torres -GOOD
Right on defense. With great discretion when it comes to getting the ball played from behind. No major problems during the 90 minutes.
Laporte – GOOD
He was soft on the play that ended with Isak’s opportunity and that could cost Spain a goal. In the second half he was forceful with the Real Sociedad striker.
Jordi Alba – NOTABLE
Captain in the debut of Spain in the Eurocopa. A dagger to the left. Barcelona’s left back was a problem for the Swedish defense. In some section of the game it was the only solution in attack with centers that did not reach anything.
Rodrigo – GOOD
Perfect in the center of the field. He balanced the Spanish game, cut balls that could have been dangerous plays and took the ball well played from behind. With a zero tie on the scoreboard, Luis Enrique decided to replace him.
Pedri – APPROVED
One of the great surprises of the eleven. He was very missing in the first half. In the final stretch of the match, with Sweden more tired, he improved. The last great opportunity for Spain was born from his boots.
Koke – APPROVED
The other great novelty. Great first half of the Atlético player. He was close to scoring a goal with a shot from the heart of the area that went high.
Ferran – NOTABLE
Good on the side. Generating danger and putting the Swedish defense in serious trouble. The player who most dared to face. He ended up very tired.
Dani Olmo – REMARKABLE
The best of the game. A constant danger. He had it at 15 minutes and in the final stretch of the first half. In the second act he continued to be differential. He endured until his physique said enough and had to be changed.
Morata – SUSPENSION
Again it failed. A great ball from Jordi Alba and the Swedish defender’s mistake left him alone in the area, but at the time of defining he threw the ball out. La Cartuja reacted with applause. At the beginning of the second half he again fired a deflected shot from the front. After repeatedly crashing into the yellow wall, he ended up being replaced by Sarabia. He did not have the dream debut.
Sarabia – GOOD
The first change of Spain. He tried it from the side. He took a great cross for Gerard Moreno who was very close to finishing in a goal.
Thiago – APPROVED
He came out to give more meaning to the Spanish game and he succeeded, although it was not enough to achieve victory.
Oyarzabal – APPROVED
Good on the side in the final minutes. He was not able to find the goal, but I think danger.
Gerard Moreno – GOOD
In the midst of a tremendous ovation he entered the field. The fans wanted to see the Villarreal player. He had it in a header, but ran into the goalkeeper.
Fabián – NO TIME
It came out in the final minutes and did not have much participation.
Luis Enrique – APPROVED
He bet on Koke and Pedri in the creation of the Spanish game. Spain started well, but ended up crashing with the Swedish defense and the Asturian could not avoid it.
