In a borderline situation ,. The selection unraveled the node of Portugal, an eclectic team, capable of developing an associative game and making a more defensive approach. Before the world champions, the team led by Francisco Neto touched him this time. At times he launched a very advanced intense pressure, and at times he retreated in his own field with the lines very together to complicate the circulation of the red, which he found in the ball stopped how to start decanting a match in which there was almost no margin of error. The triumph in Paços de Ferreira, a small municipality located on the outskirts of Porto, was a relief for the Spanish, in a tournament in which they defend title and where only the first of the group accesses the final four.

Without Tere Abelleira in the team for the crusade breakage, Montse Tomé recovered in the center of the field the head triangle of Barça: Patri Guijarro, Aitana Bonmatí and Alexia Putellas. The Catalans were accompanied in the wings by Mariona Caldentey and Claudia Pina, with Punta Punta Salama. It cost Spain to develop the Portuguese defense on an unpleasant night for the wind and rain in which he received a thrombus exit from his rival. The staging of Lusas allowed them to try the goal of Cata Coll twice in the first three minutes, but Diana Silva finished off the Barça goalkeeper and Andreia Norton the attempt was left out.

Those of Tomé exceeded the beginning through possession, but it cost them a lot to disturb the goal of Inês Pereira. The goalkeeper of Dépor was very solid at a distant shot of Guijarro. Without a edge in the combinative game, the team found the goal to a stopped ball. After a rejection in a lateral foul, Bonmatí put a combined center for the barça pivot, which packed on the network to the first touch. Only three minutes later, Portugal tied in a four -pass counterattack in which Cata left false to leave Caterina Amado marks without opposition.

Spain has several consecutive games by fitting goals against. The rivals easily punish the space behind their defense with rapid transitions. With the team without depth, I took Pina to the right and Mariona to the left. The game remained without flowing, but on the edge of the rest Laia Aleixandri a pina center finished off after the rejection of a corner. An instant later, Barça’s front ended a against wink in which Salma shattered Diana Gomes, very lazy to the clash.

The sopapo seemed definitive for Portugal, a rocky team thanks to the tireless deployment in Andreia Jacinto and Tatiana Pinto. Spain tried to sleep the second half from possession and without the urgency of the goal, but Jana Fernández committed a penalty about Joana Marche on the edge of the area. Without VAR to review the action, Carole Costa beat tasting and complicated an end in which the team endured the lusas onslaught until the scorer scored after a center of Athenea del Castillo and closed a vital victory so that Spain will continue in the brega with England for the group leadership in the Nations League.
