beating 2 -1 DENMARK in front of 85,000 fans. It was a
do or die game, a must win clash that showed the tension
in the air & thinned in the players minds.
Denmark are a tough nut to crack. They started well, only to
lose JENSEN with a red card ( double yellow) in the first
25 mins. Spain took advantage & with a great pass from
Iniesta came the 1º goal of the match scored by Spaniard
MORIENTES -seen below celebrating.
SILVA - below - was great tonight along the wings. Nice touch,
skill & pace , was a real danger all night. Also others worth a mention
was MARCHENA in defence, INISETA in the midfield & VILLA
up front .
Its was precisely DAVID VILLA that scored the 2º goal for
SPAIN after brilliantly losing his defender & scoring into the
net - seen celebrating below.
It seemed that Spain would come out in the 2ºhalf ready to take
the game by the neck, BUT...
...the Danes are a tough lot, & managed to take the chance in
Spain´s poor concentration phase & scored a header by
GRAVGAARD to pull one back for Denemark .
Then nerves set in for Spain & they become conservative &
defensive. They managed to hold out & archieved the objective:
the 3 points.
Final score Spain 2 ( Morientes , David Villa)
Denmark 1 ( Gravgaard)
Next hurdle - Wednesday in Mallorca - against ICELAND... Tweet
