SILVER AND DISAPPOINTMENT

Finally, the Spanish team could not reissue the gold of Barcelona92 '. The final had everything, with moments in which Spain had Brazil on the ropes and could have taken the gold if the success had accompanied, and phases in which the superiority of Brazil became unbearable for Luis de La's team.

The Brazilians went ahead just before the break, but before that, there was a controversial play that ended with a more than debatable penalty. A bad start by Unai Simón ended in a penalty designated by the VAR. Richarlison sent her sky high. However, the blow came in the 45th minute of the meeting. Cucurella entrusted himself to Alves first and then Pau Torres, after a terrible mistake when he failed to clear, caused Matheus Cunha to hunt a loose ball to define, free of mark, against Unai Simón.

In the second half, Spain grew to the rhythm of Carlos Soler, and after a few good minutes of play, the equalizer arrived. The Valencia midfielder put a cross at the foot of Mikel Oyarzabal, who hit him with all his soul to beat Santos. That goal gave wings to a Spain that chained its best minutes throughout the game. And in the final minutes of regulation time, the crossbar avoided the gold medal. First with a center-kick from Óscar Gil, and then with a whiplash from Bryan Gil that the same crossbar repelled.

Luck was not aligned with Spain. In extra time, Jardim gave Malcom, who took advantage of an action in which Vallejo was soft, stole his wallet with ease and defined against Unai Simón to put the second and final goal. This generation of footballers says goodbye with a bitter silver, although with the intact options of continuing to make history with the Absolute.
