Super sub Morata sends U21 Germany home, Netherlands destroys "Russian Bear"
The 2-3 defeat to U21 Netherlands left U21 Germany with no way back in the second match of Group B of EURO U21. They only had one choice against U21 Spain: victory.
But Germany's opponents did not play badly. The victory over Russia U21 in the opening match was not enough to reflect the full strength of the Spaniards. Possessing a series of excellent players in the squad such as De Gea, Thiago, Tello and especially Isco, the Netherlands had no difficulty in imposing the game and creating a series of opportunities.

Spain U21 had 14 shots compared to their opponents' 5. But they had to wait until the 86th minute to score their first goal. Surprisingly, Morata was the scorer again. In the match against Russia, Morata also scored the only goal for Spain U21 from the bench. He is showing an impressive scoring streak both for Real and the national team.
This is also Spain's second consecutive 1-0 victory. They are showing a very pragmatic image, quite similar to their seniors in the national team.

In the final match, Spain U21 will face Netherlands U21 to compete for the top spot in Group B. That match will remind fans of the 2010 World Cup Final, where Spain defeated the Netherlands to win the title for the first time. It will be a match worth waiting for. Remember, the Netherlands are currently the team in the top spot of the group. They just destroyed Russia 5-1 in the remaining match of Group B.
