Wingers Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams on fire as Spanish face Germany next
Spain versus Germany, then. Don’t mind if we do. The tournament hosts and its best team so far will meet in Stuttgart for a place in the semi-final after the took 31 shots and scored four goals to ease past Georgia here. Only ease may not be quite the right word.
Six sheets were strung across the stand spelling out the word BELIEVE in big red, capital letters. And what if they really could? Giorgi Kochorashvili had already described this as “a beautiful, unbelievable film”, and that was the moment that they cut through Spain and scored the opening goal here. They had been playing 18 minutes when it happened.
The celebration spoke of relief, and it was natural to believe that it was done now, the game back at Spain’s feet. That they would score again felt inevitable, logic reestablished. The threat, though, remained at both ends, both sides moving fast in their own way. One dash early in the second half saw Kvaratskhelia catch out Unai Simón from the halfway line; his shot, though, faded just wide. Almost immediately, Lamine Yamal went off on a run of his own, heading inside from the right.
