The national team plays the fourth qualifying match for Euro 2024 in Granada
Lamine Yamal starts in a match with Gavi and Merino as scorers
The Spanish team is playing in Grenade the fourth qualifying match for Euro 2024 and is doing so against Cyprus after the resounding victory against Georgia.
Spain has started playing a very vertical game and with a lot of presence on both wings with Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal looking to open the field, face and win 1v1.
The insistence also based on crosses has generated the first clear chance: Morata has not managed to head the ball well into the small area. Cyprus, without the possibility of leaving and gaining meters due to the good pressure from Spain, seems already resigned to staying firmly behind.
1-0, min.17: goal by Gavi
The young midfielder opened the scoring as if he were the national team’s centre-forward. Gaya sent a long ball into space with the unmarking of Nico Williams, who assisted on the baseline so that Gavi, at the near post and with one touch, paid for the ball and sent it to the back of the net.
2-0, min.32: goal by Mikel Merino
