It try in the first half, but his shot was spat out by the crossbar. He tried it again in the second, but his essay went above the wood. And on the third, when the 0-0 seemed almost immovable despite the 70% possession that the Red signed, the fortune. A perfect center of Framework
Asensio from the right he headed it to the back of the net to give Spain a historic triumph and to sign a goal no less legendary: 21 years ago the last victory and the last goal of the Red in a Games.

Oyarzabal, with the captain's armband, has been erected this Sunday in the savior of the national team. The tie did not leave out De la Fuente's men, but it exposed them too much for the last day.
Speculation prohibited
Now, with that triumphant so much, they a tie is enough against Argentina to get into rooms, although it will be necessary to see if as first or second. To avoid speculation, you will do well this selection, which also he does not know how to speculate, in going for a triumph that avoids any risk and ensures the leadership group.
It will now be necessary to see if Luis de la Fuente returns to revolutionize eleven against the albiceleste. If it is for the benefits shown before Australia It will be convenient to admit that there should be less retouching than five introduced this Sunday. Another thing is to give rest or a higher dose of oxygen to certain players.
What Pedri, for instance. To the crack of the Barça it seemed to have sat well the three days elapsed between the debut and the second game. He was seen fresher and more agile and with more ideas than before Egypt … until the gasoline lasted. Because after half an hour, his performance was down, although De la Fuente did not remove it, aware that when the ball reaches his feet everything can happen. And this, in today's football, is paid for with nothing.
Keep adding arguments
Spain has done his homework against Australia and this is what counts. With a better image than the one offered against Egypt and this also adds up. But you have to keep offering arguments so that their numbers in the bookmakers soar and confirm the favorite role with which he arrived at these Games. And we have to do it now, on Wednesday against Argentina.
At stake are some quarter finals. And if history has been made today by winning and scoring a goal in some Games 21 years later, we must continue writing it, if possible, until the final chapter. The one that Spain signed in the Games of Barcelona-1992.
