Lamine Yamal and Endrick, aged 16 and 17, took over a high-flying duel at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, oblivious with their displays to the importance of a Spain-Brazil match, which the Reds had in their hands with two dubious penalties and He let go with an absurd one, with time already expired, which helped Paquetá seal the 3-3 tie.
A prestigious duel that Spain faced with its best suit. The most offensive identity. The explanation for Luis de la Fuente’s change in system to exploit the presence of two wingers who make a difference, Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams. Lacking meaning in London against Colombia due to names, he found it at the Santiago Bernabéu with the freedom of movement that Dani Olmo exploited to perfection, with Álvaro Morata as a mobile striker.
The Spain of the extremes passed over Brazil in the first act. Only since a mistake, unfortunately already recurring, at the start of the play by Unai Simón, a gift for Rodrygo to bury his scoring drought and lift a team that had disappeared from the canvas, prevented the match from being sentenced to halftime.
The superiority over rivals of Nico Williams, electric and intelligent in every action on the left side, was more than enough to be considered the player of the moment in Spain if Yamal did not live on the other side. At 16, an incredible age to play in the elite with the same lack of pressure as in his neighborhood. Against a five-time world champion he always faced rivals, he turned the match into a nightmare for Wendell, he made steps and exits at speed, cuts, feints. He exhibited his entire repertoire before the experts in these matters.
Thus, after an intimidating start from Spain, biting at the top, nullifying the virtues with which Brazil woke up from its bad moment at Wembley, De la Fuente’s most offensive eleven struck early. A penalty was invented between Yamal fakes, which if there had been VAR could have been annulled, which became a special goal for Rodri. Morata gave him the bracelet first and the penalty shot later. After losing his grandfather hours ago, he collapsed with the goal.
Brazil had a hard time reacting. As much as Vinícius facing his teammate Carvajal. Two initial fouls to mark territory. Without his team looking for its new reference. Inaccurate in his runs with the ball. Far from his usual brilliance hours after collapsing in his denunciation of racism. At 17 minutes he took his team’s first shot, his only one, at the hands of Unai.
Spain felt superior since possession. With Yamal unbalancing but without finding the goal with his shots. When he tried to overtake the ‘Canarinha’ meters, he felt the danger due to the Spanish speed on the sides. Fabián forgave the clearest, Dani Olmo, a gift from Bruno Guimaraes, before getting even in a big way.
A bit to frame. Infected by Yamal’s dribbling recital, Olmo had the idea of throwing a shot into the Bruno Guimaraes area, pulling out of his hat a forced cut and a perfect definition. He was the second from Spain to achieve a prestigious triumph but the wind changed from one of those avoidable mistakes.
A vice from the past that already cost goals at the beginning of the play from the goalkeeper. Unai Simón received from Rodri and wanted to play first. As if it were a center. The pass went to a rival and Rodrygo thanked the goalkeeper with a poke that ended up in the net. It was the resurrection of Brazil.
Bento, in his second match due to the absences of Allison and Ederson, firmly took out a powerful shot from Rodri to keep his team in the game and boost the moments of superiority at the start of the second act. Thanks to the entry on the scene of Endrick, another beardless footballer who could not have left a better letter of introduction in his future home.
On his first ball Endrick enabled Vinícius, who was erratic in his definition and Paquetá forgave the rebound. The warning preceded the tie. Endrick’s second appearance was lethal, he hit a left foot after a corner kick that rewarded Brazil’s step forward, the Spanish moments of doubt. His first goal at Wembley, his second at the Bernabéu. Two temples where what could be a legend is born.
He was torn apart by the need for a more Spain midfielder, as happened in London. It was when Unai Simón corrected his serious mistake. The left hand was firm against Rodrygo’s heeled shot, which had left Laporte on a bicycle. Twenty minutes of suffering before the reaction.
Always with the leadership of Rodri, essential in the game, the Spanish team regained identity and confidence with the shots of Dani Olmo, Yamal and Nico. Without precision but keys for the rival to back off until a thrilling end. With both teams forgetting the reason for the match with continuous clashes.
Spain once again felt the victory after Bento’s save on Dani Olmo’s tight shot, with another debatable penalty. The genius in Yamal’s outside pass to uncheck Carvajal’s space, who collided with Beraldo in his run. Rodri scored again.
It was the 87th minute, playing at the Bernabéu. Spain lacked experience and mischief to kill the game. The last Brazilian push once again shook the foundations of an unstable team. Unai Simón saved a one-on-one against Paquetá with his chest and when added time was over, Carvajal knocked down Galeno in the clearest penalty of the night that served Paquetá to sign the tie of frustration for Spain.
