EUROPEAN U-19 CHAMPIONSHIPS 2010 | CROATIA 1 - SPAIN 2

The SPANISH U 19 NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM is participating in the EUROPEAN U19 CHAMPIONSHIPS in France & started off well in their first group game against CROATIA with a 2-1 victory.

Spain dominated most of the match with possesion of the ball but Croatia scored first before half time via Andrijasevic who managed to "shake" the Spaniards out of their comfort zone. The young Spanish players reacted well in the second half to score twice via THIAGO who was brilliant today & RODRIGO with a header from a goalkeeping stop. Special mention to new Real Madrid player SERGIO CANALES (above) who put in a great match along with PACHECO.

Spain will play next Wednesday Portugal who managed to defeat Italy 2-0.
