Rohit Mistry :- Today was the most popular match among some important matches in the last phase of Euro. Spain and Germany met today in the first match of the last eight of the Euro. Nagelsmann’s Germany was virtually the favorite from the beginning of the Euro, one of the reasons being that the Euro was a German country. The Stuthart Arena witnessed the battle between two of the strongest teams in Europe. Louis da Fonte’s Spain beat Germany 2-1.
From the beginning of the match, the German attack was very strong. Spain’s so-called “Ekkoche” game seems to have been caught today. Spain’s midfield is a feature that remains in the pages of history, but today it seems to be reversed. From the first half, David Raum and Kimmich attacked Spain. After 6 minutes of the match, Spain’s Pedri was injured in a challenge by Toni Kroos, and Leipzig’s Dani Olmo took his place. From there, Spain was hit by more attacks, but they did not break. Then in the second half, Danny Olmo scored with an assist from Barcelona’s young Turk Lamin Yamal. Kai Hervetz and Florian Ritz continued to attack. And finally Leverkusen star Florian Reitz equalized with an assist from Josua Kimich. But the German midfield was silent today. The midfield prince Musiala painted a picture of a virtually poor game for the Germans.
At the end of 90 minutes the score was 1-1. The match went to extra time, where the deficiencies of the German team in the middle of the field were clearly detected. Although Spain created several good opportunities, they were defeated by Germany’s defense. Controversy started in the middle of the match, the ball went to Mark Kukrea’s hand and Nacho was not given a penalty. In the 118th minute, Spain snatched the win from Germany with a header from the in-form Michael Merino. Dani Olmo’s floated ball was headed into the net by Mikel Merino, who stunned Manuel Neuer. Real Madrid star Toni Kroos’ dream of winning the Euro for the country remained elusive. In the end, the opportunity came to Fulkrug, Germany was not the last to be saved. Spain defeated Germany 2-1 in the semi-finals.
