Player ratings
Unai Simon – 6
Had almost nothing to do.
Pedro Porro – 8
The Tottenham Hotspur defender was a dangerous outlet throughout his 75 minutes on the pitch, as he created numerous chances and also scored a goal of his own, but was denied by the post.
Robin Le Normand – 7.5
Solid, had little defending to do but won his duels. He also got the assist for Spain’s first goal of the evening.
Pau Cubarsi – 7
Same as Le Normand, although not as solid at times.
Marc Cucurella – 7.5
Very good performance in both attack and defence.
Martin Zubimendi – 7.5
Excellent from Zubimendi, who continues to show that Rodri’s absence is not as big of a deal as some Spain supporters had feared.
Pedri – 8
An almost typical Pedri performance at this stage, as he helped run the midfield alongside Zubimendi and Merino. He delivered a perfect pass which led to Spain’s opener.
