At the same time, the equalizer of Norway against Romania by Sorloth gave the qualification to the Spaniards, who largely dominated the meeting.
Despite their 72% possession and three times more passes than the Swedes, they had failed to deceive Robin Olsen. Blame it on a game of attack, not enough incisive and a little of sufficiency, that illustrated the dribble missed by Thiago Alcantara on the goalkeeper while he had the goal opened at the beginning of the match (2nd).
After twenty minutes when they almost did not cross their half of the field, the Swedes were then as dangerous as the Spaniards until their goal. David de Gea had to bow to a header of Berg (50th) who followed two Swedish strikes in a friable Spanish defence in the absence of Sergio Ramos, recent record holder in the number of caps in Spain suspended.
The Spanish goalkeeper, injured and left head down, was then replaced at the hour of play by that of Chelsea Kepa Arrizabalaga. The latter had nothing to put under the gloves.
The two draws of the northern tour of Spain, after Norway on Saturday (1-1), however, leave a mixed record for Robert Moreno, who had made six changes between the two meetings and had spent Sergio Busquets Tuesday evening.
