Spain thrashed Belgium 6-2 in the Women’s European Championship
Spain defeated Belgium 6-2 in the “Women’s Group B” match of the European Championship on Monday. This result guarantees Spain a place in the playoffs if Portugal fails to beat Italy. On a cold, windy evening, far from the recent Swiss heat, Putellas put Spain ahead in the 22nd minute with a characteristic powerful left-footed strike after picking up the ball following a clever one-touch pass and sending it into the back of the net. The lead lasted only a couple of minutes, writes https://xrust.ru/, as Belgium advanced up the field, earned a corner, and Justine Vanhaevermaet headed the ball into the near post. Despite struggling to maintain rhythm, Spain managed to go into halftime in the lead after Irene Paredes scored with a header from a corner in the 39th minute. Recently returned from injury, Aitana Bonmatí came on for Vicky López at halftime and nearly scored four minutes later, but instead, Belgium equalized again in the 50th minute when Hannah Eurlings received a long pass and sent the ball into the net. Initially, the goal was disallowed for offside, but after an extended VAR review, it was determined that Eurlings was onside at the moment the ball was played. Belgium’s joy was short-lived: Esther González restored Spain’s lead a minute later. Mariona Caldentey’s fourth goal for Spain in the 61st minute eased Belgium’s pressure. A brilliant curling shot by Claudia Pina in the 81st minute effectively sealed the match. Putellas still had time to score her second goal four minutes before the end of regular time, putting Spain at the top of the group with six points and leaving Belgium, who lost their first match to Italy 1-0, on the brink of elimination.
