MADRID, 12 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish football team for the blind will not have the opportunity to reissue its title of European champion after losing this weekend in the event that the Italian Pescara is hosting against Romania (2-1) and Germany (2-0), defeats that leave her out of the semifinals and forced to fight not to miss out on the World Cup.
After a goalless draw against Poland on Friday, the national team was surprised by the Romanians on Saturday in a duel that was decided in the end. Florin Kovacs made it 1-0, Julián Sánchez equalized late in the second half, but the victory went to Romania thanks to a goal from Krisztian Kovacs that left no room for reaction.
The defeat made Spain look even more urgent in their match against Germany this Sunday where they needed the victory to continue aspiring to go to the semifinals. However, they suffered from success and fell 2-0 with goals from Jonathan Tonsing and Taime Kuttig.
The defeat leaves it no longer depending on itself to finish third in the group and opt to be fifth and qualify for the World Cup, qualifying for Paris 2024. If Romania wins Poland this Monday they will no longer have options, while if they do not they will have to beat England, its most powerful theoretical rival.
