Iñigo Martinez was able to get even yesterday in Georgia. The Athletic center-back jumped onto the field after the break of the match of the Spanish team to replace Diego
Llorente and did a good second part. The defense of La Roja won in solidity and in this way the one from Ondarroa closed the mouths that had put him in the eye of the hurricane last Thursday for committing the penalty that in the end and in the end served for Greece to tie the game.

In this encounter, Iñigo He also left after the break, in this case relieving Sergio Ramos, that yesterday did not play by technical decision. The rojiblanco defender cleared a ball by throwing himself to the ground and, after doing so, impacted with his studs on the knee of Masouras, who came to cover that clearance and took the worst part.
