One of the fights that ended the draw of the first round of the League of Nations, was a meeting with a pretty loud signboard - the England team took at the legendary London stadium "Wembley" "Furies" from the Iberian Peninsula, the national team of Spain.

Unexpected resignation of Khulen Lopetega from the post of head coach of one of the "silent favorites" of any international championship right before the start of the World Cup certainly had a very strong influence on the subsequent performance of the Spaniards at the World Cup in Russia. Apogee of disappointment was the defeat in the series of penalty shoot-outs from the host team of the tournament. Now, Spain has got a new head coach in the person of Luis Enrique and intends to restore the former glory.

The campaign to its goal, "Furia Rocha" started a duel against the fourth-strongest team in the world (following the very same World Cup) - the England team. However, already from the start of the match, the team of Enrique faced quite serious problems. The British began in a slow enough, you can say lulling, tempo and quickly caught your opponent on this kind of trick. Nobody expected from Luke Shaw such a bold transfer to the penalty area from the left flank during a quick counterattack and, as it turned out, in vain. A bunch from Manchester United built an excellent combination that crowned the exact blow of the young striker past another representative of the "red devils" in this match.

But just did not have the command of the "three lions" to recover from the celebration of the goal scored, as it was forced to get it out of the net of their own goal. This Saul Nygues responded to a blind pass from the right edge of the penalty area from Rodrigo Moreno and hit just one touch struck near the corner of the gate Pickford.

The Spaniards managed to do even more in the first half, namely: the story in the account. Rodrigo Moreno wound the circles around the goalkeeper's opponent during the preparation of Tiago to execute the filing with a free kick and, as it turned out, not without reason. Excellent attack on the left corner of the holdings of Pickford striker turned his goal, thus creating a second effective action in a duel.

Three balls before the whistle to break the team could not be limited, in spite of this opportunity was a crazy save from David De Gea after hitting his head from Rushford during a corner on the left flank. Goalkeeper MJ pulled the ball from under the crossbar.

The second half of the team began quite promising, but everything that happened on the football field was reduced to a "no" injury to Luc Shaw. The left defender collided with Daniel Carvakhal in the air and collapsed on the lawn. Teletranslators did not even begin to show the repetition of this episode, saving the viewer from the possible shocking frames of this episode. It is worth noting that the episode was completely playful, so that no "malicious intent" in the actions of the player of Real should not be looked for. The show was carried away from the field by a whole team of medical personnel, but already towards the end of the fight it became known that he was able to come to himself.

Meanwhile, the game was resumed, but the British were greatly shocked by the accident and their combination football in the front line permanently lost much needed colors.

Returned to the duel of Southgate wards only towards the end of the main and compensated time. And here already my word had to say De Gea. Goalkeeper "Furies Roja" clearly caught courage in this game and saved his goal even after the referee gave a whistle about the offside of the opponent. Perhaps his crucial salvation was accomplished after the impact of the same Rashford meters from thirteen. Then the goalkeeper moved the ball to the corner with his fist.

The British still scored their goal. Danny Welbeck did this, but after a small meeting with the assistant, the referee rightly canceled the goal - the attacker broke the rules against the goalkeeper.

As a result, Spain started the draw of the League of Nations with a victory that in the condition of having a Croatian national team in their subgroup can be safely recorded as the most important result. It is against the vice-champions of the world and will play the next home match team Luis Enrique. England will fill the pause with a friendly match against Switzerland.
