Under 21 European qualifier
Spain 3 - Switzerland 1 (after extra time)
Spain qualified for
next summer's European finals after a nerve racking victory over
Switzerland. The youngsters had lost the first leg 2-1, and they went
further behind when Gashi took advantage of an indecisive defence to beat
Sergio Asenjo midway through the first half. Half time substitute Xisco
levelled the scores on the night though with a header from Mata's corner soon
after coming on, and Sisi saved the day with a spectacular volley deep in to
injury time. That took the game in to extra time, and Raúl García
scrambled the ball home following another Mata corner late on to ensure a place
for his side in Sweden. (14.10.08) |
