Spain toppled Germany for historic victory and reached semi-finals

The Spanish team achieved a landslide victory over their invited German team on Tuesday, with six unanswered goals, in the sixth and last day of Group D of the first category of the European Football League.

The game was played at the La Cartuja stadium in Seville, and the first half ended with the Red team leading by triple rotation when Álvaro Morata scored in the 17th minute, Ferrán Torres in the 33rd minute and Rodrigo Hernández “Rodri” in minute 38.

In the 55th minute, Ferran Torres returned and scored the fourth goal for his country and the second personally.

The defense of the German team continued to collapse, and again conceded the fifth goal through Torres, registering his historic hat-trick in the 71st minute.

In the 89th minute, Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Uiarzabal scored the sixth goal for the Spanish team, amid the anguish and sadness of the Manshavt players.

With this frank victory, the Spanish team dominated the head of the group with 11 points, accumulated from 3 victories, two draws and one defeat, while Germany, which entered the top category, remained at 9 points after having faced the first defeat for just three draws and two wins.

And so, the Spanish team classified it to the semifinals to become the second team to rise to the golden box, after the French roosters, world champions.

Historical loss

It’s the biggest goal difference he wanted against Germany after falling by the same score against Austria in 1931.

This great defeat puts a question mark on the fate of coach Joachim Loew 8 months before the start of the European Championship.

Enrique said after the match: “We had no choice but to win, as if Germany could draw and qualify for the semi-finals, but we won. We were better at everything and more successful in their region and we were able to finish the task in the best possible way.”

Spain opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a header from the Juventus forward following a corner from substitute Ruiz.

Morata scored a second goal minutes later, after a cross from Torres, but the referee annulled it for offside (25).

Veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer missed the chance to double the score to Torres, alone, by banishing his shot from close range to a corner kick that did not pay off in the 30th minute.

Torres hit the mark on his second attempt, noticing Neuer, after following him with a powerful shot that bounced off the crossbar, which Ruiz hit in the 33rd minute.

Rodri added Neuer’s third header from the opposite corner after Koki’s corner kick in the 38th minute.

In the 34th minute, “La Roja” captain Sergio Ramos suffered a posterior muscle injury to his thigh, which led to his replacement by Manchester City’s English player Eric Garcia.
Ramos added a new match to his account at the top of the list of players who played the most in European international matches, to raise it to 178 matches, and be six games away from the equivalent world record registered on behalf of retired Egyptian Ahmed Hassan, who adds 184 matches internationally.

Hattrick is historical

Spain raised the score to 4-0 after a lightning attack led by Ruiz, who passed the ball to Gaia, who slipped between the defenders and passed it across the goalkeeper to Torres unmarked, and hit Neuer (55).

Torres scored a hat-trick from a shot from outside the penalty area with his right hand to the left of Neuer (71).

Torres became the first player in the history of “La Roja” to score a hat-trick against Manshaft.

“I can’t describe how I feel about this great victory,” the 20-year-old said after the match. “We got to the stadium and we were all determined to win, but what we achieved did not cross our minds. It is incredible and incredible. The most important thing is that I will take home the match ball.” I’ll keep it my whole life. “

Substitute Uyarzabal concluded the host’s series of goals a minute before the end of regulation with a shot very close after a ball behind Gaia (89).

On the other hand, Kroos described what happened as “very painful. They were better in defense, attack and rebounding. Our plan was not to venture to start fast and keep the game pattern calm and control the midfield, but after receiving the first goal we lost concentration, and in the second half we wanted to attack. ” More, and it didn’t work either. “
