Spain were outplayed for the most part. Argentina played some excellent short and long passing. They pressed well from the front and covered any Spanish counters. Passed out of the back with ease and all the players are very accomplished technically. They are competitive and if the shooting had been better would have won. The Spanish keeper Martinez was very poor.
Sforza has a lot of hype around him but disappointed outshone by Fernandez and Medina (a lovely bit of skill to dummy two Spanish players in the second half). Four others who stood out for their maturity and calmness were Zeballos, Palacios, Luciano Vera and Bruno Amione. Zeballos is not a headless chicken either. His crosses were fine just a pity Godoy replaced by Krilanovich failed to position themselves and Flores did not pick up a deeper cross.
Palacios dropped very deep at times but he loves the ball and is the central distributor and playmaker. Needs to be more aware at times of when to give the ball as he does hold onto to it too much. The Spanish rarely got near him. Luciano Vera the small River Plate left back. Great engine, comfortable on the ball, shut down his flank, made the requisite tackles and will grow and looks a great option going forward for the u20. Bruno Amione of Belgrano the club that produced Cristian Romero. A very similar player. Dominant aerially and is a no nonsense defenders defender. But he is far better on the ball than Romero. One searching seventy cross field pass to Medina that was inch perfect. Also comfortable carrying the ball forward he just needs to know what to do with it when he does as he conceded possession a couple of times.
The sad thing about this match was the pathetic attempt to con the referee by the Spanish player at the end of the first half. Pretending he was elbowed in the face. The actual penalty was not disallowed for that but for an offside in the build up. Disgraceful behaviour.
