Spain shine at La Rosaleda, edge closer to Nations League final | OneFootball

The Malaga night was dressed in red and gold. Spain, in a sparkling Rosaleda stadium with 20,000 spectators and under the new leadership of Sonia Bermúdez, won 4-0 against Sweden and is on track to reach the Nations League final.

Alexia Putellas opened the way with a stroke of genius that brought the stadium to its feet. Her stunning free kick with her left foot was the first sign that the night could end in embraces.

Salma went down injured just a few minutes later and a heavy silence fell. But then Claudia Pina came on, and with her skill and two goals, reminded everyone that the strength of this team lies in its remarkable depth of talent.

Spain passed, pressed, and threatened with every attack. Every pass had intent, and the Swedes grew frustrated despite their attempts at aggressive pressing. La Rosaleda surrendered to a style of football that smells of new successes.

The finishing touch came in stoppage time, when Pina scored the fourth and the stadium erupted. Shortly before, Jenni Hermoso had returned after a year of absence. It was more than a victory: it was a promise of what’s to come in the final.
