Selection Spanish sub´17 happened to end of Championship of Europe after to defeat in turn of penalties (6-7) to host Belgium, in party which it ended tie to one and that it confirmed the forward of Barcelona Measure the perimeter of Krkic, that marked the goal of Spain, like a great promise of Spanish soccer
The luck from the point of penalti was of the side of the pupilos of Juan Santisteban, and in spite of to have failed the first launching, ended up winning with a shutdown of the doorman of Athletic of Madrid the David de Egea and happened to the end of the match, in which Sunday will be seen them with England or France.
The first semifinal of the championship had two great protagonists on the game land, the Spanish Measures the perimeter of Krkic and the Belgian Hazard, that they led to his respective equipment and they gave all a lesson of soccer and maturity, and was in addition the goleadores to the party.
From the first moment one saw that Spain was the one that it looked for to attack and Belgium the one that it wanted to defend, since the technician Bob Browaeys arranged a system 4-5-1 to restrain the game of the Spanish midfield players Fran Mérida, Ignacio Camacho and Ximo.
In spite of the defensive gear of Belgium, Spain stayed faithful to the style that had demonstrated the championship throughout and had the possession of the ball and looked for to arrive at portería opposite with speed, thanks when coming out that gave to the valencianista Ximo and the athletic Camacho him.
In that aspect, the forwards Isma and Bojan were those that more sensation of danger took, although almost all their plays finished with distant shots or hung balls that finished in the hands of the Belgian doorman.
In spite of that fictitious superiority of Spain, it was Belgium the one that had the best occasion of the first part, after the left-handed person Kis sent a hung ball that went away poisoning impelled by the wind, but that the doorman Of Aegean cleared to córner avoiding the goal.
Thus it concluded the first time, somewhat dissapointing by the little offensive contribution of the Spanish equipment and with a Belgian equipment that entrusted all its options in the inspiration in Eden Hazard, his better player.
However, Spain left with more push and decision in the second part. Nevertheless, the selection underwent stumbles with the expulsion of the Athletic one of Madrid Pichu Atienza, by double yellow, in minute 41, but that did not suppose that Spain changed its form to play.
Far from that, the selection went to the attack led by a Fran Mérida who was unnoticed pass in the first time, but that woke up after delaying its position and demonstrated its quality in you pass them when plus she needed its equipment.
From that form, the best occasion of Spain in all the party arrived, with a ball over the defense that the soccer player of the Arsenal sent to Measure the perimeter of and which this one, in the hand by hand, starred against the doorman.
As usually it happens in these cases, the one that it pardons pays it and thus it happened, since in the following play a triangulation between Of Pauw and Hazard, in the only clear opportunity of Belgium, at heart ended the ball of portería Spanish.
The Belgian goal did not mine the moral of those of Santisteban, but all the opposite. It was then when They measure the perimeter of lay down the equipment to the back in search of the tie and it found it. Before, the player of Serbian origin had sent a ball to the post with a firing from outside the area after a great personal play.
But he was for want of nine minutes, the forward of Barcelona returned to send a blow, again from distant spot, that entered by high like a missile portería of Coppens, which he equaled the marker, he made justice and he sent the party towards the prorogation, since there were no more opportunities.
The added time passed with the Spanish equipment tired enough and was Belgium the one that came near more to portería opposite, and they even annulled a goal to him by a clear one out of play. Nevertheless, the twenty added minutes also ended tie and the turn of penaltis put to Spain in the end.
