Substitute Bundesliga professional Dani Olmo led Spain’s national soccer team to a difficult work victory at the start of the World Cup preparations.
With a remarkable shot in the corner (90th), the Leipziger secured the team of coach Luis Enrique a 2-1 (0-0) against Albania. Eight months before the start of the World Cup, the Furia Roja still left a lot to be desired.
Ferran Torres (75′) put the hosts ahead in Barcelona before Myrto Uzuni (85′) equalized with a slapstick goal.
Spain defender Pau Torres had headed him in an unsuccessful defensive action.
The Albanians with Klaus Gjasula from Darmstadt had a great chance to take the lead shortly before half-time when Sokol Cikalleshi just missed a cross (43′).
Despite the clear superiority and a lot of ball possession, the Spaniards found it difficult to create top-class goal opportunities.
