Spain and Portugal faces were seen in Braga for a place in the last four of the League of Nations. The locals are worth the draw. For the guests, only success. An Iberian conflict with a representation of Atletico Madrid in both selections and where the great opponent is Alvaro Morata.
Having struggled for goals in the rojiblanco team (he scored one in the last seven games after a good start to the season, although the truth is that he also has no chances this season), the man from Madrid scored the winning goal for Spain in Portugal. He didn’t play against Switzerland, but he did at Braga, where he finished the match and was key to the victory for Luis Enrique’s men..
He scored the winning goal late in the match, pushing the ball into the net after a great assist from Nick Williams. A goal from ‘9’, although with the National Team he wore ‘7’, giving rise to the saying ‘third time lucky’. Because after spending 70 minutes without a chance, he took the lead by shooting with his left foot after a great maneuver that brushed the ball. Daniel to leave it open Diogo Costa. And in the 76th minute, in another individual action, he finished with his left foot with a thread that looked for the post, but the Porto goalkeeper appeared there. Moments later, the goal arrived.
Apart from being decisive in the goal, Morata put in a good gamevery sacrificial in the pursuit of the team, receiving from behind, almost always at a disadvantage, and fighting and winning many balls for the team.
He is also the owner Coke, which shines brighter than its companion. Lots of work, but part of Spain’s sterile domain in the first half. In the defensive sacrifice, no mistake, as always. Llorente has less than a minute.
For Portugal, Joao Félix is a substitute, as expected. The Portuguese did not play four days ago due to discomfort from the derby which prevented him from training with the group but after joining it on Sunday, he entered the list.
It heated up for most of the second half but Fernando Santos he did not give him an entry until Spain advanced on the scoreboard. Minute 89. He was not satisfied with any ball to create danger and his most outstanding action, already in injury time, was a difficult entry under pressure on Gayá that cost him the yellow cardboard.
