The wait was all for Spain-Portugal and has absolutely not betrayed the expectations, perhaps one of the most intense in recent years, with a total of goals above average, 19 goals in 50 minutes. A game very open to any result that Portugal had managed in the first half even to reach the advantage for 4-2 but in the last minute “la Roja” reach the tie. In the second half, however, it was Spain who took a double lead but Portugal still managed to draw 6-6. The hosts conceded two goals in two minutes on a direct shot for the partial 8-6. Spain stretched to 9-7 but suffered the sensational return of Portugal to 2.30 from the end when the bomber Alves relaunched on 9-8. The disruptive force of the home team came out in the last minute, when in 40 seconds Rafa scored two goals and overturned the match.
In the other matches of the day, France won 5-2 against Germany confirming the first place and putting themselves in pole position for the final for the gold medal, while Italy won 10-1 against Andorra, returning to the race for third place (4 goals Ambrosio). As best scorer now reaches the first position Gonçalo Alves (Portugal), thanks to the 4 goals of tonight, totally 10.
Tomorrow the final act of the qualification in which all the finals on Saturday will be decided. All eyes are on France-Spain at 18:30 (Live TeleDeporte), where France can also lose with two goals to go to a historic final, but no more than 3. The Italy-Germany (Live RaiSport) program will open at 15:30 for the definition of the final of 3-4 place. At 21:45 the last round Portugal-Andorra (Live RTP1)
