Spain signs a revitalizing victory against Sweden

He who had, kept. If the Hispanics had to clench their teeth against the Czech Republic to take their first victory in the European Championship, against Sweden they showed that setbacks do not matter. It does not matter if there are missing figures that were key in the past or if there are many new faces among their ranks. Above all, if they show the gall and quality that he exhibited against the Swedes

. Spain exploited its best virtues and ended up adding a race victory against a Sweden that always slips into the pools of possible champions. And the sensations that it transmits, of course, are unbeatable. (32-28: Narration and statistics)

The start of the duel reminded a bit of the premiere against the Czech Republic. The rival also sought to rely on a good defense and then go on the attack with speed. His goalkeeper,

, at times, also recalled the performances signed by

, although, in this case, the most outstanding of the Swedes was

who almost monopolized the attacking actions.

The score was terribly even until the last minutes of the first half, with

being especially inspired at the forefront. The entry of

, in this case, contributed to increasing Spain's shooting threat from mid-range and helped to crack a little more the iron fabric of the rival defense. To such an extent, that the Hispanics managed to amass a maximum advantage of four goals that fell only minimally to reach the break (17-14).

If against the Czech Republic the difference of three goals to go to the locker room seemed short, in this case it allowed the Hispanics to consolidate very good feelings. Above all, because, despite reaching the end of the first half with a man less due to the exclusion of

, they again touched the maximum advantage of four goals and managed to prevent Sweden from tightening things up by forcing a free kick in attack. Sweden, far from collapsing, starred in a tremendous second-half start that made their intentions to sell their defeat very clear. With Gottfridsson at the baton and

As the main stiletto, he managed to approach again and again to just one goal away from the Spaniards, but he never managed to match the light. Cañellas's threat from mid-range and the inspiration of players like Ian Tarrafeta,

, infallible from seven metres, or Ángel Fernández was in charge of recovering the gap as soon as the rival threatened to achieve it.

In the final stretch of the match, moreover, the Swedes failed their proverbial aim, always at the least opportune moment.

That, together with the successful ball steals that the Hispanics also punctually signed to punish the rival goal, ended up causing a denouement in which the threatening 29-28 ended up moving to an incontestable 32-28 that did justice to the merits accumulated by Hispanics throughout the meeting.

If against the Czech Republic they already showed that they know how to suffer, against Sweden they gave quite a blow on the table.

With this performance, despite the casualties and the new faces, they will have a lot to say in the European Championship.
