THE MATCH
An own goal after 18 minutes to delude themselves and then, as time passed, a rude awakening. In the match in Cologne that was worth a place in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024, Spain did nothing but repeat, against Georgia, what they had already managed to do last year in the two qualifiers for the continental tournament, when the two national teams were in the same group, and the ‘Roja’ had scored a total of ten goals against the two conceded in the two matches in Valladolid and Tbilisi. Same story today in Cologne, where tonight’s match ended 4-1 at the end of a balanced match in the first 45′ and with no history in the second half. The unfortunate own goal by Le Normand, in the only effective action (on the counterattack) by the Georgians, perhaps made one think that a sensational surprise could materialize, but it couldn’t have ended like that given the technical superiority and constant domination of the game by the Spanish.

Without forgetting that the two arrows of the Roja, or rather the Ferraris like Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal were renamed at home, once again drove their opponents crazy. It is therefore strange that Spain equalized through Rodri only in the 39th minute, but at the start of the second half the former Neapolitan Ruiz, with a header assisted by Yamal, put things back in order and started the Spanish symphony , which also materialized with goals from Nico Williams, with a good shot after ‘drinking’ a couple of opponents, and from substitute Dani Olmo. Also delighting the fans was a play by Kvaratskhelia, who tried to score from afar having seen Unai Simon out at the posts: but it didn’t go well. So here is the fourth victory for the Spaniards in as many matches of this European Championship, and all that remains is to enjoy next Friday’s great match, a real anticipated final, against the hosts Germany. It is therefore up to the German coach Julian Nagelsmann to find the antidotes to neutralize De La Fuente’s unleashed troops.
