It has enjoyed a good game, better than expected, goals and show ...

There was talk of Portuguese teammates Cristiano Ronaldo, that his national team will have new figures that are growing. On the Spain side, the unexpected arrival to the bench of Spanish coach Fernando Hierro, a dilemma.

Spain entered nervous, impressively, with the side Nacho committing a penalty, after a silly foul on Cristiano Ronaldo (when the game began, almost 4 minutes).

The match continued with a good Portuguese defense and Spain taking the initiative, but with his defense in doubt as Nacho had about to commit another flaw, little by little he was recovering sensations, but really it was more desire than game.

In that sense came the draw, in a play fought by Diego Costa and finally consummated by the Brazilian Hispanic with a low shot and fantastic cross, from here Spain began to take the reins of the game.

When the culmination of the first half was expected, the unthinkable happened ... an almost routine shot from Cristiano to the goal without much force, made David De Gea make a mistake and the ball fell into his hands, Portugal went to the clearing winning the match 2-1.

Spain in the second half continued to control the match, going back up the scoreboard with goals from Nacho in minute 58 '(spectacular both) and Diego Costa in minute 77'

When Spain was approaching the fourth goal and the seal of the game, in minute 87 'in a fault made to Cristiano near the area prompted a free kick.

Collection of himself above the barrier. De Gea could do nothing, just look at the ball that was entering his goal. End of story.

Two things, the first is that Cristiano Ronaldo is a natural competitor and a sensational sportsman. He has reached the World Cup presenting power.

It made Spain sweat with its first two goals and, when the Spanish victory was already being sung, with a tremendous comeback, it sealed a spectacular launch, well charged straight to the goal and sealing a fight.

The second Spain undoubtedly deserved a better luck, going against the grain with errors that are not common, must regain confidence and be more concentrated to obtain better results, has equipment and power.
