Spain continued trying carry danger, although the Socceroos also were near to annotate by means of Arzani, that won him the position to Gil conditioned by the caution.

Pedri Once again continued generating played: first, a pass between lines that Be used to could not control. More advance would dare with a volley from the semicírculo that detained the goalkeeper of the Australians, Glover. Oyarzábal Would try it later with a shot that did to shiver the crossbar.

Spain, angered by not sanctioning the infringements of the Australians, continued keeping the possession, as of habit, while the oceanic bet by the counterattacks. Pau Torres and Oyarzábal would follow trying open the marker with support of Pedri, but the so much did not arrive.

Puado And Be used to also followed rushing forward, but was missing precision in the shots. Luis de la Fuente asked them concentration and patience from the bench, something that surely will have reinforced during the technical talk before the second time, in which Spain needed to annotate.

Spain improved in the second time

Unai Simón, by his part, frustrated the Australian occasions, and Luis de la Fuente did a bet more when calling to Rafa Mir to substitute to the admonished Óscar Gil, limited by the yellow in the first time.

And the goal arrived

After a dangerous finish of the recently ingresado Rafa Mir after a pass of Asensio, arrived the longed for so much for Spain by part of Oyarzábal. The attacker of the Real Sociedad broke the parity to the minute 80 taking advantage of a centre of Asensio. Australia would do a change more to try equalise the actions to few minutes of the end. The Red kept the cold head near of the end in front of the despair of Australia. Even so, Unai Simón received a yellow card in the first minute of replacement.
