Knowing how to react is part of the champions’ DNA. This is how he managed to do it Spain this Tuesday before Czech Republic (3-1) in a match in which they gave a completely blurred image in the first half. However, the Champions of the Nations and the World Cup They managed to reverse the situation in the second half to finish the day as first in the group in this qualifying round for the 2025 Euro Cup.
At first, however, the selection gave a face that we are not used to. Far from that security that intimidates rivals, Spain was harmless. Thomas tried a 3-4-3, an unusual system in the national team, which usually has 4 defenders. With a crooked gesture, the coach saw from the first moments that his invention wasn’t working.
Czech pressure
The eleven chosen stood on the grass and at the same moment the ball began to roll the discomfort began. The gaps were not where they always were, the ball did not run the same way and the players erred resoundingly. Between precipitation and uncertainty, Spain he missed a pause. An excess of freneticism that made the match more complicated than expected for the local team. The Spanish team was not comfortable with or without the ball. They couldn’t combine easilypartly due to the individual pressure of the Czech Republic, which suffocated the midfield.
The score did not move until the second half. And he did it against the interests of Spain. Sonntagova, from the front of the area and with an unstoppable whip for Misa under the sticks, he overtook the Czech Republic without mercy. The Spanish, however, resolved the situation in just one minute thanks to a headshot of María Méndez from inside the area. Automatic reaction.
Before 10,000 spectators
With the score tied again, Spain reorganized itself. And regaining confidence, Czech Republic Hope lasted 5 minutes. Mariona focused a ball with music to Jenni Hermoso, Once inside the area, she jumped to accompany the ball to the back of the net. Already ahead on the scoreboard, Spain was once again recognizable.

With calm and tranquility, Spanish team recovered the football version that is so engaging. With determination, tact and speed, she began combining at a much faster pace. The entrance into the green of Salma Paralluelo y Vicky Lopez It helped to navigate and break lines. Just as he did Marion. After a recovery by Jenni Hermoso in the center of the field, the Madrid native enabled the Balearic player, who With a cut, she stood alone in front of the rival goalkeeper. He adjusted the ball, very close to the post, totally unreachable to sign the third goal of the meeting.
Spain leaves The Plantation (Burgos) with three great news. The first, the victoria, which at times seemed very far away. The second, the first place in the group. And the third, perhaps the most comforting, the absolute sellout in the Burgos stadium, which 9,982 people attended. An image that is increasingly common and that reflects how everything is changing.
