On the shoulders of an imperial

Gonzalo Pérez de Vargas

, Spain signed their best performance of the World Cup against Tunisia (36-30) to go as first in the group to the next phase.

The Toledo was a torment for the Tunisians and a safety net for the Hispanics, who grew with the game until they overwhelmed in the second half.

The next rivals of the European champion will be Germany, Hungary and Uruguay.

After the sweats at the premiere and the timid improvement against Poland, Spain continued to draw their upward trajectory against Tunisia.

The lack of preparation is forcing everyone to pick up the pace of competition as they go, but the signs of improvement are evident.

After a rough start,

Jordi Ribera's team

offered its most solid face, without disconnections or ups and downs.

10 goals from Ángel Fernández

Spain countered Tunisia's muscle with speed and open ground.

Especially on the right side, where

Ángel Fernández

made his fortune: 10 points, seven in the first half.

The Cantabrian winger was the spearhead of the Hispanic improvement in attack, one of those tasks that had remained pending.

Spain scored in 62% of their attacks and finished with 13/15 from six meters, the area where the lack of aim had been the most obvious.

And there the man was

Rubén Marchán

(4/5).

In these first matches where the important thing was to pick up the tone and add men to the cause, you can now enlist in Ademar's pivot.

His contribution was valuable against the tough Tunisian defense and adds a weapon to attack and stir inside.

Between the two they added 12 of the 17 goals that Spain took at halftime, although the rent (17-14) was low for the level that Pérez de Vargas was offering.

The defense of the Spanish team still has waterways to correct, but against Tunisia the Barça goalkeeper was covering them all: 18 saves and a 39% success rate, a wall that allowed Spain to grow with the game until sealing a victory comfortable.

A good note to close the first phase.
