Seems like Chukwu could have attacked that ball, no? 
Zone marking I guess and the two attackers created some hesitation but that seemed gifted a bit.

What can you say. Not great defending but class by Spain.

They are everywhere.

19% possession.  That tracks.

Something needed to be on net. Jeeze what a good chance.

Yeah, not great defending.  I think Chukwu only plays defence when he's with Canada.  Normally he's a midfielder I thought.

Missing a good final ball on the couple of attacking forays we have made.  

[El Hombre]

Cooling breaks built into the tactics, I see.  Well played Olivieri.

[Ottawafan]

This will be a long 60 minutes. 

[canuckgbp]

Oh boy. 
 

Biello red.

Oh, fuck off.

[Floortom]

Are they serious? A red for that?

[Gian-Luca]

What total bullshit of a call

[Ottawafan]

Unbelievable. Our guys gets dragged down from behind which is dangerous but their flopping ass mofo gets grazed and a red card.

Bullshit red card

What the fuck?

[Jack1997]

How the fuck

[Borjans Sweatpants]

Rough, but I havent seen a replay yet. 

[Jack1997]

Can you appeal red card suspensions in this tournament? That was one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen

[Gian-Luca]

If there was anything close to a red on that okay it was the foul by the Spanish player from behind on the play

[Jack1997]

Klukowiski… that should be a goal. Insane run from Tahid though.

[Gian-Luca]

And can someone tell the commentator that it’s “Stefanovic” not “Lazovic”?

[Aird25]

What's the score? I hate that this is on TSN

[El Hombre]

Oooops, looks like another Spanish player fell over on that 50-50 ball.  Another red incoming?

1-0 Spain, but we have the moral victory in the bag.
