Spain were actually not in a very comfortable position during the match. Therefore it wouldn't be fair to say that they won without problems. Because Italy couldn't take advantage of really critical goal chances. Frattesi could have scored a goal with an amazing assist if he wasn't offside. Frattesi had another big opportunity in the second half but he targeted Simon with his shot. I can also say that Morata was really disappointing. He wasted big opportunities and in one of them the goal was like nearly empty.
Le Normand played his first official national match in his career but it started like a nightmare. Because he caused a penalty on Zaniolo's shot. This match could have gone to extra time though if the ball didn't hit two Italian players and found Joselu in a wonderful position to score.

I believe Croatia is a very strong team as they are considered third place team in 2022 World Cup. And Spain has been eliminated in the past so Croatia is more powerful than Spain. Croatia is much ahead of Spain in terms of stars and defenders, so this time Croatia vs Spain will be a very tough fight where everyone will be desperate to beat each other and win the title. Meanwhile, Spain beat a team like Italy to reach the final, which is a very big competition. So we have to wait till the final match where two teams will compete in a tough fight.
The Spanish team rightfully defeated the Italians, but Croatia didn't reach the final by mere chance either. It's a recurring pattern that bookmakers tend to underestimate the strength and quality of the Croatian national team. We saw a similar situation during the last World Cup. Thus, according to bookmakers, the odds for Spain's victory in the regular time of the match are even below 2.00, while for Croatia, it's 4.00! Also, the odds for Spain's eventual triumph are at 1.55.
Nonetheless, this situation could potentially be good for punters. Croatia does have a chance against Spain, but only if they play with the same determination they displayed in the second half and extra time against the Dutch.

As the players of the two teams could not score any more goals, Spain won very easily.

Spain did pull off a win against Italy, thats for sure. 2-1 is a respectable scoreline, kudos to Pino and Joselu. But come on! "Won very easily"? Thats not how I saw it. If scoring in the dying minutes is an easy win, then I need to relearn my football understanding.They're through to the finals against Croatia, but man, their form is a total wild card. We all know how crazy final matches can get. They arent going to walk in the park, trust me. Croatia has a killer FIFA ranking for a reason. So, lets cool our jets before we start celebrating

Spain was a better side, and deserved to win this one, and set final with Croatia
that one will be interesting feat, and could go on any side
overall, Spain played offensive, clearly wanted to win this, and scored really early in the match, which gave them advantage, especially in first half
Joselu scoring just after he was entering the pitch was a really good substitution
I think this time Italy will be different and will surprise Spain but it seems that even Italy can only score goals from the penalty spot. Unsatisfactory results achieved by Italy and I do not know when they will be like this in international competition. Spain did a good job to beat Italy in the semifinals and thanks to a goal scored by Joselu in stoppage time, Spain stepped into the final round of the nations league against Croatia. I can't wait to see who will be the champion this time, considering that both teams are equally strong and it will probably be much more fun to see a team that has the same attacking style of play. that one will be interesting feat, and could go on any side

I would not say it was an easy win for the Spaniards due to the score line being marginal and it was close to heading into extra time just like the game between Croatia and Netherlands. However, Spain were undeniably the better side to be honest, they created more chances and it was quite different accustomed style of dominating the ball possession with any distinct objective for it than just the pass accuracy that are always well above good percentage, they had more attempts on goal and the victory was well deserved.
Although, I really can't judge the new system just by one game against a team with a substandard midfielders, I guess there should be more insight into what to expect of them along the line when they play against Croatia, which I believe have more quality midfielders than the Italian counterpart, that would be a better and tougher test for Spain.
Spain did very well if I must say but the problem is that number 9, they don't have a better 9 to lead them to a comfortable win, 2-1 is not a comfortable win. I see no reason why Morata would be the number 9 of Spain and still act like he's still on the training ground, for what reason would an attacker who has many chances but could not convert like 2 or even all. I'd prefer having someone like Diego Costa than Morata, the man Morata is like a mistake to the Spanish national side and if they get to meet a team like England it won't be in the favor of the Spanish side.
Spain need to get a better striker and not Alvaro Morata, how I wish Immobile was a Spanish player, that's the kind Spain needs to get more goals, a sharp striker.
Spain qualified for the UEFA Nations League final with an intriguing victory over Italy. The score was 2-1, with both teams performing admirably. All of Spain's domination and pressure were absorbed by Italy, who remained defensive throughout the game. Spain had 62% of the ball and 19 shots, while Italy had 38% of the ball and record only 8 shots. With these statistics, the best team wins; Mateo scores late to put Spain ahead; their victory may not be convenient for such a top club, but they have what it takes to reach the final; and as for Alvaro Morata, I believe he was unlucky throughout the game and was not in his best form, so his actions and missed goal opportunities are quite disappointing but understandable. Spain need to get a better striker and not Alvaro Morata, how I wish Immobile was a Spanish player, that's the kind Spain needs to get more goals, a sharp striker.

Well it could have gone the other way if Var approved the Italy goal in the first half. But for me this was a couple of easy bets on this match especially on goals. Also i think that Spain will struggle a lot with this Croatian team that plays really good togheter. Will be an intresting final.
My bet went through, both teams scoring a goal and 3+ goals in the game seemed like a gift.
Congratulations, we both won our bets.
I wasn't so confident about the match having 3 goals or more, and if I had to bet, I would put a maximum of 2 goals, I'm glad I didn't place that bet.
I honestly thought that this time it would not be extra time and in fact it should not have happened that the football referee extended the match max 4 minutes and not even 6. Of course, this is not an excuse for the complete confusion that prevailed in those minutes when it came to Croatia, but they obviously cannot do without real drama.
Hehehe, it was just as I thought it would be, with exciting final minutes and extra time. It seems that Croatia is already going to be known for extra time matches.
And Croatia's superiority was very noticeable after regular time, it feels like it was another match, Netherlands couldn't play like they did in regular time
The experience of the Croatia team was a very important detail.
Modrić played an essential role in the victory, conceded the penalty kick, gave assist, scored a goal and still played 119 minutes, all this at the age of 37, it's impressive
Just to remind you guys, the final match may have extra time, but the 3rd and 4th place match do not. In case it ends in a tie, it goes straight to penalties.
The rules:

Italy given Spain a gift in the 8 minute, the pass from Donnarumma should not go to Bonucci, that was the mistake and the lucky 1:0 for Spain. In the next 20 minutes was Italy with 2 goals the better team, but one goal was not given because of offside. Then Spain was over a long time the better team, they have shot very often on the goal of the Italians, a total of 19 times. Shortly before the end then the 2:1, I would have liked to see the two play another halftime. was a good game. that one will be interesting feat, and could go on any side

Spain has had most of the opportunity in this second half, controlling the ball well and winning more than 60% of the possession, what has just been lacking in their game is the goal scoring touch which their striker Morata has not been able to provide. Morata to be was holding on the ball too much when he would have either passed or shoot. Joselu replaces Morata and he scores a very important goal from Rodri's shot that got deflected to him in a few minutes of getting in.
Spain has very good control of this game since the second half, Rodri has been excellent! it will not be a difficult work for them to control the game to the end and secure their lead.
Italy looked like they would have won, had one beautiful goal ruled out for offside, but Italy have been off in this second half and have just been struggling to hang on.
Croatia will face Spain in the finals.

Yes this was the case in the second half but I was actually waiting for this to happen. Because there was a clear superiority by Spain over Italy so it was the best for Italy to be just patient and focus on their defending. It is inevitable that your opponent starts creating even more dangerous attacks in this case. Italy still did a really good work by keeping the score at 1-1 until the last minutes. But that upsetting goal by Joselu came in these minutes and it was devastating for Italy.
There wasn't much time left for an answer and Spain managed to secure the win. It is good for them because if we we watched extra time then it might have been for the benefit of Italy. Joselu was like a savior of his team because he scored only 4 minutes after Morata was replaced by him.
UEFA National League 2nd semi-final match is about to start between Spain vs Italy at De Grolsch Veste Stadium in Netherlands. Both teams are strong enough to put up a great fight and it's hard to say which team will win. But Spain is stronger than Italy and Spain has many good stars who can perform well. But I noticed Italy is ahead of Spain in FIFA ranking. So it cannot be said for sure which team will perform well in the field. Croatia and Netherlands played yesterday, Croatia won brilliantly. so today's match cannot be confirmed whether Spain will win or Italy will certainly try to perform well enough to win the two teams.
Spain has the advantage, but the odds of the bookmakers at the moment seem strange to me:
