Under 19
friendly tournament
Spain's under 19 side were
invited to take part in a friendly tournament in Austria in mid-October
together with the hosts, England and Italy. The youngsters drew all three of
their matches, starting with a 1-1 result against England. Real Madrid's Adrian
González (son of Castilla manager Michel) put them ahead, but an Omar
own goal right at the end deprived them of victory. The second match was
against Italy, who had won their opening match, but although Berrocal headed
against the bar, the game finished without goals. The third match was against
the home side, with Mallorca's Emilio Nsue and Espanyol's Barrocal twice
putting them ahead before their opponents fought back to 2-2. Italy won the
tournament, with England second and Ginés Meléndez's side third.
