U-21 EURO GROUP QUALIFIER: HOLLAND 2 - SPAIN 1

The Spanish U-21 National Football Team suffered a set back in its
objective of taking the top table spot, & thus the direct qualification
for the European U-21 Championships of 2011, when they lost 2-1 to
Holland in their Group 4 match at Rotterdam.

The Dutch played well & did what they had to do in a satisfactory
manner; however Spain was extremely unlucky as they hit the Dutch
goal post 4 times during the game. Spain will now have to ensure
maximum concentration & win their following games as the U-21
Euro & London Olympics participation are both under the threat of
being missed out on.
