in a friendly preparation International match before the September Euro 2011
qualifiers. The Spanish Coach Lopez Caro put on a totally new & experimental
side to test out the upcoming youngsters before settling for his final squad
for next Septembers official qualifiers.
The novelty & the lack of playing between the new members showed as two
woeful defensive errors (first goalie Miño & second a defensive mishap)
allowed Ireland to capitalise & transform their two goals. Spain dominated
the ball & were not given a hand ball in the area which was a penalty,
& managed to pull one but via IVAN BOLADO.
(Hand ball not given when Ireland ahead 0-1)
However, Ireland played smarter & knew how to defend its two goal lead, while
the anxiety to score by Spain affected their efficiency & eventually their ability
to equalize. Let’s hope the “A” TEAM tonight against TURKEY in its World
Cup 2010 qualifier have more luck & do better.
Here is a brief technical summary:
2 - Ireland: Redmond; Coleman, Nolan, Dennehy, Moloney; Gleeson, Garvan,
Meyler, Judge; O'Shea & Sheridan. Also played Genderson (ps), Carey,
O'Toole & Fagon
1 - Spain: Miño; Azpilicueta, Kiko, San José, José Angel; Jeffren, Crossas,
Camacho, Jordi Alba; Parejo & Iván Bolado. Also played Edu, Aaron &
Michel
Goals: 1-0: m. 38, O'Shea. 2-0: m. 57, Judge. 2-1: m. 62, Iván Bolado Tweet
