ROMANIA 1 SPAIN 2 | EURO 2020 GROUP F QUALIFIER RESULT
SPAIN defeated ROMANIA 1 - 2 away tonight in their Group F EURO 2020 Qualifier. It's the first time the History of the Spanish Football National Team that they have defeated Romania in their home stadium. A competitive match that saw Spain dominate the first half & complicate their advantage in the second half with a RED CARD included that left Spain down to 10 men.
However, the victory consolidates Spain on top of the Group F table & has them firmly on the path to secure their Euro 2020 qualification.
However, the victory consolidates Spain on top of the Group F table & has them firmly on the path to secure their Euro 2020 qualification.
The above is the Spain starting XI team, the surprises being Navas (ahead of Carvajal), Saul (ahead of Parejo) & Alcacer (ahead of Morata).
The first half was totally dominated by Spain. The best player on the field was Romanian goalkeeper Tatarusano who made 4 - 5 point blank saves to avoid a scandalous Spain runway result. The Romanian was truly outstanding & frustrating for the Spanish players.
The goals for Spain came in the first 50 mt. through a penalty scored by SERGIO RAMOS & PACO ALCACER at the beginning of the second half.
But credit to Romania which did not drop their heads & lifted in their pressure looking to pull the result back. Romanian Coach Cosmin Costa began moving the bench bring on ANDONE who reacted & headed the Romanian goal in the 59th min. From here Romania put Spain onto the back foot with pressure & more aggression.
Spain suffered a RED CARD when Spanish defender LLORENTE fouled being the last man in the 79th min & left Spain with 10 men. This forced Spain to change strategy & defend their 1 goal lead which allowed Romania to be the main protagonist.
Spanish goalie KEPA had to make important match saving interventions as Spain suffered to keep their lead. However their experience, with some luck, allowed Spain to hold on, take the 3 points & the victory.
GOALSCORERS:
0 - 1 (29') (P.) Sergio Ramos
0 - 2 (47') Paco Alcacer
1 - 2 (59') Florin Andone

ROMANIA 0 SPAIN 0 | INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY RESULT
Spain played Romania away in tonight´s International Friendly match which ended in a 0 - 0 final result. The draw was another disappointing result after the other drawn result against Italy four days ago. The Spanish Football Team travels back home with more doubts than optimism as the team is far from what we expect or have been used to in the past.
Spanish National Coach Vicente Del Bosque gave a run to players that did not participate against Italy. The starting line-up was:
Casillas, Mario, Pique, Bartra, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto, Koke, Silva, Pedro, Nolito & Alcacer.
Iker Casillas notched up his 166th International Cap & became the European player which more Internationals in History. The all-time record of international Caps is held by Egyptian Ahmed Hassan with 184 games.
Romania started slow but gradually began to create goal chances putting Spain on the back foot. Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas was made to work tonight as with most of the Spanish defence. Romania defended well & kept finding the back of the Spanish defenders were they only failed to converted their created chances.
This was the anecdote for most of the match, with Spain finding glimpses of their game even with the late substitutes. The Spaniards looked slow, at times unmotivated & more worrying, lacking intensity. This last area is worth noting as the Spanish players were "pushed around" in the midfield losing many balls.
It is obvious that Spain suffers without Busquets, Iniesta & Sergio Ramos, but the added problem is the lack of firepower, that lack of GOAL.
The only good news is that Spain came only improve.
Next international Friendly is against Bosnia the 29th of May.
