Malaga (from our rapporteur) – Coach Luis Enrique changed the line-up in nine places, but it was not known to the Spaniards. They stuck to their … So mainly the balls they wanted and had under control in the first half for 74 percent of the time played, so they naturally dominated. For ten minutes, the Mandous goalkeeper knew what awaited him before his teammates dared to take the announced press and attack, which they used to break the home team’s game.
–
They managed it, and because they lacked the courage to attack, they had two great chances to take the lead in less than two minutes. However, goalkeeper Černý Unai Simón set off to deal with Kuchta’s solo, which ran alone on him, after a few tens of seconds.
–
However, he could not shoot him, so the Spanish reaction came immediately. Soler showed the Czech players how similar opportunities are changing. He used his ready Alons and the home team set off. Asensio demanded penalties after a clash with the Green, Valencia midfielder Soler could soon sign up for the second time among the shooters, but did not hit the goal.
–
Pešek and Kuchta also did not succeed after the mistake of the goalkeeper Simón, which only confirmed the pain for Šilhavý the choice of changing opportunities when they arise. And the Spaniards’ defense offered them even after the change of sides, when they came under pressure and had to cope with the aggression and emphasis of the opponent. But neither Pešek’s possibility nor the promising action launched by Souček or the shot of the alternating King brought interest.
–
The Spaniards still professed their football. Although economical in trying to hold the balloon for as long as possible, not to lose it, combine it and wait patiently for the opportunity that really came. A quarter of an hour before the end after the first serious domestic action. Gavi founded it, Olma realized with the help of Jemelka’s flow and Sarabia alternates it after three minutes on the field.
–
Simply, just another proof of what was and is the difference in the effectiveness of both teams. After all, for example, in the shots on goal, the ratio was 4: 3. But even four shots were enough for Enrrique’s charges to score two goals.
–
The home team La Roja, of course, calmed down and watched the win, which moved them to the first place in group A. In the autumn, they will share it with the Portuguese for advancing to the Final Four, and the Czech national team will first face retaliation with Ronald et al. and September 27 in Switzerland a battle for retention.
