Spain raises its hand and pays tribute to Switzerland that sutures wounds

There is no magic, no goals, no victories, no efforts. Never. Except after touching the sky, lowering a star that they released in the New Archangel and demonstrating that they can exorcise all demons. Everyone, not just those who run after the ball. Also that of discrimination, that of abuse. Spain needed a feast and gave it to Switzerland. An entire stadium, 14,194 voices breaking records and displaying militancy, reminded the Spanish team players that they have won all the battles.. [Narrative and statistics (5-0)]

They had to stain their boots with mud that weighed them down for a month, enduring that a dark side was exhibited, remembering, also last night, that #It's Over and fighting to ensure that what was seen was only its immense light.

Switzerland was blinded. He did not know how to snatch the ball, stuck to the foot of the Spanish, nor could he worry them nor did he hold down an imperial Alexia Putellas to prevent her from catalyzing the attack. Spain walked. He settled in the Swiss field looking for the second victory that will help him qualify for the playoffs of this Nations League that has a double prize. The third was to see how neither sleep nor musings distract them from hunger on the grass.

Carmona, the most applauded

Lucía García tried to hit quickly at the start, then Putellas with a left foot shot that went high and then Aitana Bonmatí trying to catch a back pass from the captain's baseline. It was a matter of testing an insecure Herzog. The only scare for Switzerland came from a corner kick with a slanted header from Bühler, the Tottenham center back.. And the ball barely passed through her boots, not even to launch counterattacks that broke the Spanish defense in which Montse Tomé lined up Oihane but Olga Carmona was the one most applauded by the stands.. World Cup hero and Andalusian, not enough to excite the Córdoba fans.

Eva Navarro had also entered the eleven, who sought to take advantage of an error by the Swiss with a shot from the crescent of the area.. By then the mischievous Mariona had already detected how the defenses trembled when they appeared in a rush if the Archangel roared.. The second attempt to press, to disturb her exit, caused the goalkeeper to make a mistake, she dribbled it and served the first goal to Lucía García. That of Montse Tomé and her players flowed. It was not a duel of attrition as the Swedes proposed and that was an advantage. Under Alexia's command, Aitana Bonmatí began to appear. The result was still short despite the fact that only Wälti had tested Cata Coll with a long shot. On the edge of half-time, the advantage was increased with a center from Carmona that Bonmatí caught with a ball and the goalkeeper could not save despite her attempt.. Upon returning from the locker room, the Spanish girls' walk accelerated.

Closing a dark week

The coach – followed in the box by President Rocha and the CSD president, Víctor Francos – looked for more electricity with Athenea and a shot with Gabarro, in an attempt to distribute efforts. Alexia Putellas' men were the ones who allowed the win. He assisted Aitana to score the third and then saw the fast Real Madrid winger on the run, whose shot was cleared by the Swiss goalkeeper but was pushed by Inma Gabarro to score the fourth goal and close a game and a window from which They will be especially proud. Lehmann couldn't even put a mole on him because he lost his head-to-head match against Cata Coll. Spain raised its hand with Maite Oroz's extraordinary goal, impaling an early shot from the front.

The national team closes a dark week, which began with indignation, lack of sleep, eternal meetings and the need to fight for the future beyond the field. The Nations League, the Paris Olympic Games and the Euro Cup in Switzerland in 2025 looked very far away against a dark blue, almost black horizon.. Political intervention, the sanity of the RFEF and the sisterhood of players and fans from around the world pushed changes that allowed these footballers to once again worry about what happens for 90 minutes on the playing field.. When they do it, there is no doubt that they are the best in the world. And now, they will fight the following battles again, which do not seem to claim coach Montse Tomé as a victim.
