Alexia shines in a scandalous victory

Spain is in a hurry, a big hurry to get into the final of the Nations League. He beat Switzerland with extreme authority thanks to the direction of an inspired Alexia Putellas (two goals and one asistence), so if they beat Italy on December 1 they will enter the final phase. He scored a scandalous win (1-7) that extends his excellent playing chemistry and efficiency: 11 shots, eight on goal, seven goals. A lesson in forcefulness.

The night in which Aitana abandoned the luxury of the Ballon d’Or gala to feel, once again, a footballer in a group where Jenni Hermoso regained his title status. A team, that of Montse Tomé, that is completing a formidable tournament: four games, four victories, 12 points out of a possible 12 and the world champions honor that star that they wear on their chest every minute.

From the Paris red carpet to the Swiss lawn. There is no respite for Aitana Bonmatíwhich was applauded by the Zurich crowd when she was substituted late in the second half.

From the kiss to a Ballon d’Or, which makes her a legend, on the unforgettable French night to avoiding the dense Swiss defensive structure. There is no rest either for the new Spain of Montse Tomé, a team that defends the crown. And a team that is in a hurry to finish the games to increase its love affair with happiness on the field.

First corner in favor, first Spanish goal. Excellent assistance from Tere Abelleira from the left corner of the attack allowed us to detect the figure of Oihane Hernández on the second stick. He was alone in the front of the small area. Alone because Switzerland, in an inexplicable exercise of naivety, forgot to defend. And alone, it must be said, because the previous work on the board had allowed the Madrid player to be freed, who headed with as much cunning as precision.

All of Spain’s set pieces, whether lateral fouls or corners, were the responsibility of Tere Abelleira, who has the GPS of the rival area in her mind. The game had no script. It turned out to be an endless speech of the Spanish attack. Not even a quarter of an hour and they were already winning 0-2.

Salma Paralluelo’s speed

Salma Paralluelo’s acceleration was excellent, tearing through the transparent Swiss defense to get closer to the baseline and intelligently center back where Alexia Putellas He appeared, once again alone, into the small area to seal the match. If there was a meeting, of course. There wasn’t one!

Although Switzerland, through Lehmann’s attack on the right wing, wanted to show that they had not given up. But his shot met resistance from Misa Rodriguez, the Madrid goalkeeper who started the World Cup as a starter although she ended up losing her seat to the Blaugrana Cata Coll. Two good appearances by the white goalkeeper frustrated the timid Swiss attempt to react.

Tere Abelleira always attends well

The second half started just as well as the first half started for Spain. And in the same way. Corner served by Teresa Abelleira, another assist from the flag, to be finished off on this occasion by María Méndez, the Levante player. Thus the game was exhausted because within the hour it was already 0-3 illuminating the scoreboard, the lead being extended with the penalty scored by Alexia Putellas.

That is, three of Spain’s seven goals came from set pieces (two corners and a penalty). And that the selection of Montse Tomé He disconnected from the game for 120 seconds, allowing the Swiss goal from Alayah Pilgrim, a Zurich player. That fall was as fleeting as it was deceptive because they ended up scoring up to three more goals in the last 20 minutes of the match.

He entered the field (m. 66) and scored (m. 68) taking advantage of a gap in the Spanish defense and a poor interpretation of Misa Rodriguez. The Madrid goalkeeper was left in no man’s land, opening up the possibility of a Swiss goal.

Alexia’s night

Immediately, Athenea del Castillo restored order to the match with a header that gave more shine to the delicate center of Alexia Putellas, who appeared with greatness on the rainy night in Zurich. Two goals and an assist certified the excellent match of the second best player in the world. The one who gave up the throne on Monday to Aitana Bonmatí, while Peng, the Swiss goal, saw how the two goals of Athenea del Castillo It slipped between his legs and Maite Oroz joined the festival in added time. 1-7, everything is said.
