The game that saw Spain gain the lead in their group was nerve-breaking. Villa equalized in the final gasp of the encounter after a tough struggle. Certainly the Swedish side will have to go against an improving Russian side.
The game was even in the opening stages of the match until the goal arrived at 15'. Torres extended his foot in a display of ability ater an inbox-cross by Silva. After the goal the Swedish morale seemed untouchedwith several attempts going over the bar. The pressure went finallly down for the Spanish side with the equalizer. Zlatan performed a good definition after a bad marking by Ramos. The Swedes became aware of their moment in the match and tried to net the second.
In the second half the Spanish side regained the possesion and David Silva became the best player in the midfield, despite the unjustified attempts of having Xavi as the best. Cesc entered at 59'. The game became open and by the 64' several shots shaked the Swedish goal. The game, still domminated by Spain at 71', did not developed clearly with a solid Swedish centerback repelling all advancing efforts. The desperate Spanish side saw the lead with a late goal scored by Villa. The defense wreck that involved the superior central defenders was crushed by a run and a first- class definition. Certainly Villa will spent his last moments in a struggling Valencian side as Siva.
Cesc Watch:
-Passes completed: 22
-Balls involved (defensively and marking): 23
-Shots: 1
-Crosses: 5
I did not watch the following group stage match due to my vow against Greece, so as the game against Sweden the review will provided. The match end 1-0 on the Russians.
