Spain, which had corrected Italy 4-0 in the final of Euro 2012, find the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup after posting the head of the dominant group B u brave Nigeria (3-0), eliminated Sunday in Fortaleza.
double for Alba
The European shows will be played Thursday, the day after the other semifinal, South American one, Brazil-Uruguay.
La Roja has won a double of Jordi Alba, who concluded a nice collective action by a beautiful slalom in the 3rd minute and then sealed the victory after one against (88th) and goal Torres (62) which was to counter his five goals, leading scorer.
Was it due to the successful opening of the score so early, enabling management efforts in the vast tropical heat? Still, that Spain was seriously hooked by Nigeria, which can leave the head of the tournament, where his defeat against Uruguay (2-1) have been fatal. You should have seen mine grumbles Vicente Del Bosque in the first period and the break …
The coach had rested its holding by playing his successors against Tahiti (10-0), and they had the opportunity to establish a new record for goals in a gap Fifa tournament (selections) .
Experience Spanish
Against Nigeria, back to business, so things, and equipment type which beat Uruguay (2-1), except for the goalkeeper: Casillas and after Reina, Valdes also entitled to tenure.
Supported by the public Fortaleza, Nigeria has hampered the game licked world champions, the ownership rate fell to 57%, relatively low compared to their standards. And worried by Valdes Obi Mikel (11th), MBA (20th), Akpala (28th), Ideye (51) and especially Muhammad lacked the inevitable (75).
For paradoxically, if the Spaniards had, as usual, control of the game in general, they had a long struggle to place their attacks and counterattacks should proceed as in the image Pedro left alone and taken by a defender (9th) or lost duels against Enyeama Soldado (26th, 31st), also post Fabregas (39th).
Soldado just after his goal against Uruguay, has little weight and lost more points in the competition that book and especially Villa Torres, author of a fine diving header two minutes after entering the place holder.
Nigerians created some panic situations in the Spanish area, led by the very own Obi Mikel and the liveliness of the attackers.
What upset the hierarchy without spilling. The Spanish experience was ultimately due to the youth of the Super Eagles.
