Pass and fail of the U21: Puado, Bryan Gil …

Puado was the great star of La Rojita against Croatia with two goals that classify De la Fuente's team to the semifinals of the European Under-21. Bryan Gil and Zubimendi also played very well.

Álvaro Fernández. Nothing could do in the penalty goal of Croatia. Before he had solved what little work he had.

Mingueza. He did not lavish much in attack but he was well behind. He saw the yellow for facing Bradaric in 88 '.

Miramon. He marred his good game with a penalty on Biuk in minute 92 that cost him the yellow and the draw for Croatia.

Basin. Aim for portentous power station. He was right in all the defensive actions in which he had to intervene. They disallowed a goal for offside.

Pedrosa. He climbed judiciously and was well behind, although a side of his quality can be demanded more in the last meters. From more to less, he was replaced by Cucurella in 75 '.

Zubimendi. Imperial in the middle. He cut, commanded and led the team. A match in the purest Busquets style, always well placed and choosing wisely what to do at all times.

Beltran. His was the first shot of the National Team in 13 '. He formed a couple with Zubimendi in the middle but was not decisive and Villar replaced him at game time.

Brahim. It takes very little to create danger. Even if they barely touch the ball in a game, when they do, things happen. He brushed the goal twice (his shots grazed the posts) and left quite a few details of his class.

Manu Garcia. Very intermittent. Disappeared in the first half, he took a step forward in the second and Spain improved. Then he took a step back again, although he almost scored a goal in extra time.

Bryan gil. A player of those who are very few. As always, he played close to the line and tried to create superiority situations by overflowing with his one on one. His insistence was rewarded: he assisted Puado in 1-0. In 83 'he left his place to Miranda.

Fer Child. In a game rarely, forwards like him suffer. Even so, he created spaces for his colleagues. Puado replaced him at 59 '.

Gonzalo villar. His entry coincided with the best minutes in Spain. It gave depth to the team but then it became intermittent and with it, the national team's game.

Handful. The best in Spain. He almost scored as soon as he left, but Semper stopped him. Five minutes later, he finished off a cross by Bryan Gil that advanced La Rojita. He was the hero in extra time with a great goal after an individual game in which he left two centrals and the goalkeeper.

Cucurella. He came out for Pedrosa in the 75th minute and started as a winger, but with the entry of Miranda, he played as a winger in extra time. It was decisive, as he sent a ball into space to Puado in the 110th minute, which Espanyol's was in charge of turning into a goal.

Yeremi. He didn't have his day. He entered in the 82nd minute and inexplicably missed 2-0 on the first ball he touched. Puado left him a candy in the small area and Villarreal's player finished off the ball over the crossbar. That error accompanied the rest of the game and was quite imprecise.

Miranda. He came in for Bryan Gil in the 83rd minute and played well in extra time, climbing well and reaching the baseline several times to get dangerous crosses.
