Jenni Hermoso remembered who she is. He knew what he had to do, what he knows best, what heals him, drives him and multiplies his strength.. What makes all Spanish soccer players an example of everything that comes before and after the ball. Resilient, they chose not to look back too much and take their long match to the grass. That is their territory and, with impudence and bravery, they decided to catch another dream by feasting. For the first in history, Spain will fight for an Olympic medal in Paris. It was fair and necessary that the Netherlands was hit first by Jenni Hermoso with a cathartic goal, finished off by Aitana's powerful speaker, and buried by the faith of Ona Batlle to make history again. [Narrative and statistics (3-0)]
The Dutch were not the bone that was expected or perhaps it was that Spain found a way to gnaw it comfortably. They had the ball, they locked up the rival and were able to finish him off with the devilish speed of Salma Paralluelo. They sought to find Beerensteyn on the run, pursued like a shadow by Laia Codina with the coverage of Irene Paredes. Miedema appeared to catalyze his game and cause some shock, but it was the Netherlands who suffered the most. As if they were not warned, they did not find a way to stop the Barça forward, who only lacked aim to binge. She made fun of Janssen and found a long pass from an excellent Mariona that licked a post and then Athenea stole from the front goalkeeper that left her a left-footed shot that grazed the other post.
The game went from area to area, looking for errors that would open it up and that didn't come.. Athenea did not catch a low cross from Jenni, just as Beerensteyn did not take advantage of a filtered pass from Miedema because Cata Coll saved the shot with her foot. Spain was focused on preventing the Dutch from running with the ball under control while they had found the opportunity to release Paralluelo. Another run from the crescent in which she relied on Athenea ended up forcing goalkeeper Van Domselaar to save the goal that was resisting the Zaragoza player. But he didn't give up. Another slalom from the left, cut to captain Spitse and another shot that did not find the goal. Andries Jonker's team was saving itself against the world champion, as dominant as it was misguided.
lethal left kick
As Salma didn't get it right, Olga Carmona appeared to finish off Mariona's cross at the penalty spot.. You had to try and that's what Jenni Hermoso did. Ona Batlle found her leaning to the left in front and the Madrid native caught the ball and, holding on and calm, danced with it in an inch and created the lethal left-footed shot.. Spain was ahead and in four minutes, another cross from Mariona was feinted by Salma but was scored by Aitana from close range, appearing on the penalty spot.
The ticket reservation to Paris was in the pocket. He wanted to wake up the Netherlands by looking for more play with the exiled Damaris Egurrola. Their worst nightmare, Paralluelo, appeared again and reminded them that they need control and scare Spain.. Brugts understood it, forcing Cata Coll to shine again, and Martens with a header that went over the crossbar. The Spanish team was beginning to suffer and had to adjust, that's why Montse Tomé looked at the bench and claimed Alba Redondo's gunpowder. Let's see who could do more.
But France's victory over Germany gave the Dutch team an extra life and Jonker kept this in mind when giving up his most lethal player.. Beerensteyn left the field while Spain was growing and even gave the opportunity to the debut of Vicky López, a brilliant seed of the new generation, at the age of 17.. But first Ona Batlle appeared, who cooked and ate the third goal. Spain, world champion, will be able to seek Olympic gold and the first continental title. Nothing stops them.
