Spain qualified for quarter as the first group

The Spanish team won yesterday in extremis to Sweden and the end of the day we discovered that is classified as first in group D.

Spain came to win, dominating the match against a Sweden that left the ball to the Spanish. Fruit of the red domain was a goal from Fernando Torres in play tested at the exit of the corner, which is rare because the plays tend to be counter rehearsed Spanish. But this time went right and El Niño put Spain 1-0.

However, after the goal, Sweden began to touch the ball and dominate the game. Ibraimovich, the Swedish star, played the ball with much danger. Finally, in a few minutes in which Spain gave rise to doubts that he had carried throughout qualifying and had dissipated in the first game against Russia, Sweden scored the tie and we were going to break with a 1-1 the marker.

After the restart the game returned to its initial paths, ie, Spanish and Swedish domination did not like to manage the flow of play. But Spain did not last long and again raise doubts. The whole team was gone and only Smith seemed to do something. Sergio Ramos went missing, Iniesta unrecognizable and forwards very occasionally managed to put some fear in the body of Sweden. Luis Aragones changed by Xavi and Iniesta Cesc and Cazorla and succeeded, not so much for Cesc, but by Cazorla, that it caught a very fine performance and should reconsider its inclusion in the starting lineup.

In the closing minutes Spain domino clearly and had a wonderful couple of times it wasted, some by the kitchen wanting to get the ball out (I despair that the players do not shoot and threaten both) and sometimes because Sergio Ramos inexplicably failed to control the ball. In his last breath, a punt - Capdevilla pass was collected by Villa taking advantage of a monumental failure of the Swedish defense, which moments before had had a chance to score, and Valencia striker scored a wonder goal, putting the classification leader the top scorer and giving the victory to Spain 2-1.

Greece lost to Russia 2-1 and already eliminated from Euro.'s Second place in Group D will get it Sweden or Russia will face each other next Wednesday.

Spain will have to wait to meet his rival, who could be Romania, France or Italy. Later we will tell as presented the final day of group C.
