Germany got back and now the score is 1:1. After a long siege and terrible bad luck, the German team still showed their character and scored a goal, but I think that the goal should have been earlier when Havertz did not score into an empty net.
The beginning of the match was not the most interesting, but after the Spanish goal the German team finally managed to pull itself together and show its ability to win back in the last minutes.
I think now both teams want to rest and decide everything in extra time.
Now, we will have several minutes to take rest before two extra halves. Meanwhile, let's review what happen in the second half.
Germany controlled ball more after Spain scored a goal with an assist from Yamal and finish by Olmo who replaced Pedri in the first half. He is nearly a hero of Spain until 88th minute when Wirtz scored an equalizer for Germany. Before that goal, Germany tried to control ball, attack and create some opportunities with two biggest chances from Füllkrug and Kai. They nearly lost the match before Kimmich which his effort to jump high and head pass the ball back to Wirtz who scored.
Spain might have more difficulty in extra halves because both Yamal, Morata, and Williams were out. Lack of best attacking players will affect their attacking system and Germany will try to attack proactively but they will do it carefully. Getting a conceded goal in extra halves is very risky and harder to equalize.
It's enough for a recap, now it's time for watching again.
Spain will certainly be more difficult now and rightly noted that now Spain do not have its three strikers and if Pedri is out due to injury, then as I think Morata and Yamal could still be useful, especially Yamal, he is young and strength he should have.
I believe now everyone is waiting for a viscous game, all afraid to take risks and will play on the counterattack, but most likely the match will end in a draw and everything will be decided by a penalty shootout.
Spain as it seems to me is already exhausted, the players are not so sharp in attack, but Germany is still fighting and you can see that they still have strength.
