INCIDENTS
Last quarterfinal match of the Netherlands Euro 2022 played at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam.
Therefore, the duel between the two best teams in Europe will be one of the two semifinals with an exciting Ukraine-Russia in the other when confronting two countries mired in a pre-war climate who have not played in international tournaments for many years.
As happened in the key match of the first phase against Georgia (0-8), The Red she came out very psyched about how much was at stake and imposed the pace he most needed with high pressure and monopolizing possession.
Raúl Gómez warned in the first minute as if it were a pure pivot and immediately afterwards Mellado signed the 1-0 with a stopped ball after receiving a perfect pass from a Sergio Lozano who deceived the Slovak defense.
Raúl Campos tested Karpiak after two minutes and from then on Marian Berky’s men tried to take a step forward that only resulted in a good shot by Tomas Drahovsky to which Dídac responded well. Without a doubt, the great star of Industrias Santa Coloma was the rival who had to be watched the most.
At the edge of the equator of the first part Sergio Lozano reappeared to celebrate his 100th match with the national team with a great goal, 2-0, after outsmarting a rival with a dodge and shooting Karpiak.
Berky did not hesitate and immediately gave the goalkeeper shirt to Dominik Ostrak, which slowed down the game. Spain defended with great order and both Sergio Lozano in the 10th minute and Raúl Campos in the 15th minute tested a successful Karpiak

It was the prelude to 3-0, work of the brand new signing of Manzanares Quesos El Hidalgo in the 16th minute in a semi-miss shot that slipped into the Slovak goal after hitting the post. Thus, the break was reached with a clear advantage and excellent sensations for the runner-up.
The decoration did not change after the restart, with a sterile attack without a goalkeeper by the Slovaks and the 4-0 in an action traced to the first goal in a free kick launched by Sergio Lozano for Mellado to seal his ‘double’ in superiority by the red one that Smericka had just seen. Except catastrophe, Spain was already in the ‘semis’ with the memory of the recent 6-0 against the Portuguese.
It was about not hesitating and the truth is that La Roja managed to keep the Slovaks at bay until a loss that allowed Rick to be warned with a shot on the post in the 33rd minute. And immediately afterwards, at the second post Serbin closed the gap with the 4-1.

The Spanish response was immediate in a sensational pass to Borja’s hole that allowed Raúl Campos to establish a 5-1 in the 35th minute who was putting things back in their place to join Mellado as a bigoleador.
Fede Vidal took advantage of the last three and a half minutes to give rest to his ‘heavyweights’ including the reprimanded Adolfo and Carlos Ortiz, as well as to play with Dídac more advanced in an important test for what may happen in the semifinals.
