Mistreated, Spain snatched a draw (2-2) on the ground of the Czech Republic as part of the second day of group 2 of League A of the League of Nations on Sunday. At the same time, Portugal made short work of Switzerland (4-0). After the split against Portugal on Thursday, Spain were taken cold in the Czech Republic who opened the scoring after four minutes via Jakub Pesek. Luis Enrique’s players were slow to react and finally equalized a few seconds from rest thanks to a goal from Gavi (45th + 3) who became the youngest scorer in the history of ‘Roja’ at 17 and 304 days.
Jostled, Spain was again surprised in the second half. Launched in depth, Jan Kuchta subtly lobbed Unai Simon to restore the lead to the Czechs (66th).
The Spaniards then pushed to equalize and were rewarded in the dying seconds via Inigo Martinez (90th).
Against Switzerland, Portugal made the difference in the first half. After a scare on the goal of Haris Seferovic, canceled by the VAR due to a handball, the Portuguese unfolded with a first goal from William Carvalho (15th). Cristiano Ronaldo then entered the scene and planted two goals in four minutes (35th, 39th).
Note that as we can see under the images below, the mother of CR7, present in the stadium, could not contain her tears at each of her son’s achievements. A beautiful moment of emotions.
In the second half, the Seleçao still had many opportunities to increase the score and Joao Cancelo took advantage of the largesse of the Swiss defense to fix the final score at 4-0 (68th).
In the Group 2 standings, Czechia and Portugal share the lead with 4 points ahead of Spain (2) and Switzerland (0). During the 3rd day scheduled for Thursday, June 9, Portugal will host the Czech Republic and Spain will go to Switzerland.
