The hosts delude themselves with the goal of the Juventus striker. The Rossonero, in the first time as a starter, does not affect, but the Lusitanians still manage to equalize a few minutes from the end with Rafael’s substitute, Horta. CR7 starts on the bench and plays only 30 ‘
Nothing to do, once again the Iberian derby ends without winners or losers. And so, for the fourth consecutive time, the match between Spain and Portugal ends in a draw. In the match in Seville, valid for the first round of the Nations League, the usual Morata is the one to unlock the match. Spain takes possession, administers and defends itself, but Portugal catches them again in the final with the newly entered Ricardo Horta.
CR7 OUT
–
Surprisingly, Fernando Santos leaves Cristiano Ronaldo out of the starting trident: in attack there are Otavio and Andre Silva together with the Rossoneri Leao, while in goal Diogo Costa is preferred to the Roman player Rui Patricio. The form chosen by the two coaches is the same, the 4-3-3: Luis Enrique relies on Unai Simon between the posts with Llorente and Pau Torres to protect him, in midfield there is Carlos Soler of Valencia together with Blaugrana Busquets and Gavi . Forward, the reference point is Alvaro Morata.
ALVARO-GOAL
–
In the first 20 ‘, Spain stings little but dribbles as usual. Leao shows up with a clumsy shot, then Morata’s 1-0 arrives: the 17-year-old Gavi, who brings the ball and sets the counter-attack, starts the action. Alvaro with a veil serves on the Sanabria race, who returns the favor by placing the ball of advantage in the middle of the area. Before the break, Soler and Sanabria try on one side and Andre Silva on the other, but without success. In the second half an imprecise Leao insists, time begins to tighten and Fernando Santos decides to play for the CR7 card: the former Juventus player enters the scene at 60 ‘. Portugal picked up the pace, Spain resisted but found themselves unprepared in the 82nd minute. Cancelo prank Jordi Alba on the wing and invented a perfect cross for Ricardo Horta, the Braga striker who entered the field for ten minutes. The ball is only to be pushed into the net, Unai Simon can do nothing. The 1-1 final, however, also passes from the error of Jordi Alba: 3 ‘from the triple whistle, the Barcelona full-back can score the 2-1 goal with an empty net. The gore of him, however, is to be forgotten and ends up on the side.
