Another draw that leaves La Roja still dependent on itself but two points behind its rival and Portugal, who beat Switzerland and the new leader of group A2.

The Czech Republic He believed that from the very beginning. In fact, he warned to just remove the center and forced a corner that burned the local public, which finally filled the Sinobo Stadium. But after four minutes, in the first rush, the Czechs were back on top. Failure Carvajal when the offside broke and kuchtabefore the departure of Unai Simón, surrendered to Pesek, that he just had to push to the goal. The game was reviewed but the Czech 10 position was legal and the goal rose to the scoreboard.

An intense initial blow for Spain, who had to be patient. Especially because of the scoreboard advantage, the Czech Republic fell to a clear 5-4-1, with all their players always behind the ball when Luis Enrique’s team attacked. The locals left very few spaces, as the Spanish coach warned, and La Roja felt uncomfortable. After all, he was the dominant, he had the ball, but it was very difficult for him to step across the place.

The first clear arrival was in the middle of the first half. An action by Raúl de Tomás in depth. The Spanish striker was left for Sarabia, who was unable to direct his shot into the goal. He searched for the thread, but he could not find it.

But before the break Silhavy gave an advantage to Spain. The Czech coach used a substitution window in the 24th minute due to Zeleny’s injury. Jankto came in, from Getafe, who also had to retire in the 45th minute, but the referee added four more. The local coach took a risk, preferring to wait for the break to make the change and his team played with one player who reduced the addition. And the Spanish team did not forgive. Rodrigo attend to Gavi, which he controls inside the box and placed out of Vaclik’s reach. One goal made the young Barça player the youngest player to score on the national team (17 years and 304 days), beating his teammate Ansu Fati by seven days.

The Andalusian goal reassured Spain and agreed Luis Enriquee, to apologize from the band before the Czech bolt. After the restart, the Spanish team came out determined to complete the comeback. Olmo had two good chances, a shot that missed the target and a forced shot after a cross from Ferran, who came in after the break.

Locals followed the marked script. Solid and against. In one of them, kuchta he forgave in front of Unai Simón after beating the back of the defense and taking advantage of a filtered ball. He wants to adjust too much and throw away. The party is more open and Ferran put to the test vaclik, who released reflexes to get an acrobatic shot from the culé striker. there was also it Asensio, at first touched at the time of the fight. The post thwarts his purpose.

But Spain he let go of his back again, kuchta He took advantage of this with quality to score on Vaseline before Unai left. A great goal that once again left evidence in Spain’s defense.

The team was rushed after the Czech Republic’s second. Luis Enrique has already released the entire arsenal. Busquets, Ferran, Morata, Asensio… and later on Llorente to try an epic comeback. But to Spain’s ineffectiveness in the face of goal we must add the lack of a small point of luck, always necessary.

As in closing Fernando Torres after 2-1. His header hit the root of the stick. No way. also tried pass, with a bang that rose in the latter part, turning the Spanish team upside down. And at the last minute, it was 2-2 after a header from Inigo Martinez to hit the crossbar before bouncing inside. The VAR verifies that the ball has crossed the line and climbed the scoreboard.

But it didn’t happen from here. There is no time for epic and Spain He again left two points forcing him to take out the calculator for the rest of the first period. They will never fail again.
