La Oratava, Tenerife. Spain
finished top of their group after drawing 1-1 with England in their last match.
Ginés Meléndez's side had some problems though after Hurst gave
their opponents an early lead with an effort which Blázquez deflected
past his own keeper. And despite having Frimpong and Oshodi sent off for double
bookable offences, England held on until two minutes from the end, when Fryers
turned Golobart's cross in to his own net. Spain ended the first stage with
seven points, England are also through with five, and Estonia beat Armenia 1-0
in the other group game to finish third. |
