A defeat for the Spanish team would have meant even a theoretical loss of hope for the priorities of Euro 2020, but now everything will be decided in the final round.
Spain has not yet met expectations in this European Championship. Louis Enrique’s pupils were drawn to first place in Group E, but after two games they have scratched only 2 points and are third.
Poland (1 point) is currently in fourth place. Sweden leads Group E (4 points) and Slovakia is second in the second echelon (3 points).
In the third round, Sweden will play Poland and Spain will play Slovakia.
The hosts started the game actively: both Gerard Moreno and Álvaro Morata shone at the top of the attack. It was the last 26 minutes of the game that gave the hosts a 1 – 0 lead after an attack from the right.
The striker sent the ball into the goal, but the referee’s flag immediately went up to the top, quickly stopping the hosts’ triumph. Emotions subsided in the square, but after the VAR review, it was clear that A. Morata was not on the sidelines, the goal was scored and Spain broke 1: 0.
The Poles scored the tie after the break: in the 54th minute, a long series of “dry” matches at the European and world championships was finally stopped by R. Lewandowski, who masterfully distinguished his head after the transfer of Kamil Jozwiak .
The Bayern superstar won only the third goal in major tournaments (European and world championships), his first since the 2016 Old Continent Championship.
The joy of our neighbors lasted just a few minutes as the referee sent an 11-meter penalty to his goal shortly after the VAR review game. However, the catastrophic taking of penalties in these championships was prolonged – G. Moreno hit the ball, A. Morata ran towards the ball and did not direct it to the goal.
At the end of the match, the Spanish took off in the final round, but did not take advantage of the great opportunities and had to settle for only a draw.
A new record was also set in this match: after the change, Kacper Kozlowski became the youngest debutant in the history of the European soccer championships. Interestingly, in the record book, the 17-year-old Pole surpassed the Englishman Jude Bellingham, whose record only came to life for a week.
