Marian Berky’s charges had nothing to lose against the seven-time European champions. The Spaniards confirmed their strength from the beginning, in the 2nd after the rehearsed signal Mellado opened, but the concept of the Slovak team did not collapse. The Slovaks even got offensive flashes in the middle, but in the first place they tried to defend responsibly. However, Ševčík did not guard Lozan ten ball into the opposite goal in the 10th corner of the corner – 2: 0. Then the Slovaks tried to play in a power play, but their opponent added a third goal during the break, when Raul Campos pushed through.
The Slovaks entered the second half again with a game without a goalkeeper with five players in the field, but they did not surprise the opponent with this move. On April 2, he received a red Direction card, which prevented the goal from intentional hands. The next hit of the favorite came immediately in the power play, Mellardo aimed exactly at the exposed goal. The Spaniards slowed down for a while, but Rick could record an honorable success in the 33rd, only the left pole. A minute later, Serbin managed to shoot Zaťovič into the net – 4: 1. The well-deserved triumph of Spain was also underlined by the contribution of Raul Campos, the second two-goal scorer of the evening after Mellard.
votes after the match:
Marián Berky, coach of the Slovak Republic: “Our goal was to advance from the group, we succeeded. We especially wanted to score the first goal in the tournament, which we had already achieved in the first match with Russia. Then we wanted to get at least the point we paid against Poland. It’s a pity that we played for the semifinals with the Spanish, which is one of the world’s best, but we also gave a single performance, I’m proud of all the players and members of the implementation team. ”
Tomáš Drahovský, Slovak player: “We went into the match with the fact that there was everything in it. The Spaniards were strong on the ball and Škoda dominated the fast goals, the opponent then kept a sufficient goal. We tried it in power play, unfortunately, we scored only one goal. The Spaniards won “We got on with an opponent who was better. But we can be proud that we made it to the quarterfinals. We have to continue on the path we set out on.”
