1×1 of Spain: outstanding De Gea; Rodrigo, without gunpowder

From Gea: Luis Enrique trusts him and that reinforces him. He saved Spain with three saves in the first half (especially brilliant the one he made to Sané in the 18th minute). Nothing could do in the goal of Timo Werner.

Carvajal: Lazy game from the side, especially in the first half, when he joined the attack little to save his back. In the second half, Ferran had a better understanding in attack and he looked more into the rival field.

Ramos: Correct game of the captain, without serious errors. He suffered when he had to go out to cut plays away from De Gea's goal.

Pau Torres: He left a very good feeling: good on the ball out and fast on the cut. He passed a very complicated exam.

Gayá: He reached the baseline quite a few times, although he was not successful in the centers, which hardly created danger. He made the tying goal in discount.

Busquets: The worst in Spain. He surpassed the rhythm of the match in attack and defense. He was uncomfortable and not daring to make passes that he used to distribute easily. This game leaves him very marked.

Fabian: Its physical display is spectacular. Attack, defend … It is key in both areas. He was very successful in crossing lines, either with filtered passes or beating rivals with his good stride. Right now it is fundamental in this Selection.

Thiago: He is in his footballing maturity and has also come to this game in great shape. He always asked for it, participated a lot and almost always with success. He brushed the goal with a shot in the 70 'that went brushing the post.

Navas: It is no longer extreme. It was the surprise in the eleven and hardly contributed in attack. He did comply in defense, with constant help to Carvajal, but he has lost that overflow he had when he played as a winger. That is why he is now a lateral … Replaced at half-time by Ansu Fati.

Ferran: The big surprise in the eleven. In the first half he played on the left and brushed the goal with a shot from the corner of the area. In the second half he changed to the right, his natural position, and improved a lot. Overflow, centers… From the best of La Roja in the second half, the center that led to the tie was born from his boots.

Rodrigo: No gunpowder. In the first half he had three very clear chances, especially one on empty goal in minute 14 in which after taking advantage of a defensive error he did not dare to shoot with his bad leg when he had an empty goal. It is difficult for him to play as the only 'nine', he is more comfortable with another forward next to him. Assisted Gayá in the tying goal.

Ansu Fati: The second youngest debutant in the history of Spain. Nervous in the first minutes, he was intoned when he touched several balls. Daring and overflowing rivals, he left a good feeling. They annulled him a goal in the discount.

Mikel Merino: Another debutante. He brought freshness and physique in the midfield in the final quarter of an hour and combed a key ball for the tie.

Óscar Rodríguez: He played the final minutes and barely had a chance to come into play. He tried a shot from far away that went high.
