Spain got stuck in Morocco's spider web from minute 1. Only Nico Williams managed to impose his speed. Luis Enrique's men missed up to the three penalties they took.
Unai Simón /6/Impotent. Well under the sticks, he hesitated in any way out but took a providential foot to prevent Cheddira's goal in extra time. In the shootout he could only stop one pitch for four.
Marcos Llorente/5/Nervous. He made his debut in the World Cup and tried to ride the band with versatility. But he seemed a little nervous. He made inaccuracies. He improved without fanfare over time.
Rodri /5/Cast. He was attentive to the cut in more than one action but a bad clearance of his caused a good Moroccan chance. It was almost the only blemish from him with the ball. It was difficult for him to run backwards in the final stretch.
Laporte/6/Sober. The most solvent of the Spanish defense. Quick to the crossing, expeditious above. He saw a yellow when cutting a counter. He was close to hunting a corner in attack.
Jordi Alba/4/Official. He had to dance with a dagger like Ziyech and could not climb the band with superiority. The Moroccan physicist prevented him from shining like in other games. When he levels up he lowers his performance.
Busquets/4/Autumn. Embedded in the skein of Morocco, he tried to get the ball out but the traffic in his area was intense. He limited himself almost exclusively to not making mistakes. He scored his penalty.
Gavi/5/Boxer. He loves to go to the clash but when he goes alone to the clash, the match has become complicated. He appeared above all to receive and commit fouls. He left his place to Carlos Soler.
Pedri/5/Tangled. He started to the left, went to the right, came back to the left and pushed his position back to try to be more influential. More generous in the withdrawal than unbalancing with the ball.
Ferran Torres/4/Clumsy. If everything he aims for materializes, he would be a superlative footballer. Good movements and worse decisions with the ball. He overflowed very little. Just replaced.
Dani Olmo/5/Finisher. Stuck on the left flank he had difficulties finding space and drawing diagonals. He hit Spain's first shot between the posts and almost caught Bono off guard with a lateral free kick.
Marco Asensio/4/ Surrounded. He returned to eleven as a false nine and a breaking uncheck of his originated the best Spanish chance until the break. He was diluted between defenses and went to the bench.
Álvaro Morata/6/Deep. He tested the shot. He stood out.
Carlos Soler/4/Denied. He contributed almost nothing and shot his penalty fatally.
Nico Williams/7/Dizzying. It overflowed successfully.
Bucket/5/Relevo. He played overtime.
Ansu Fati/5/Appeal. He left in the emergency.
Sarabia /4/Unfortunate. On the last occasion she hit the stick. Like his penalty.
Luis Enrique/5/Frustrated. He didn't hit the key. He was right with the entry of Nico Williams but his bet for Sarabia did not go well.
