Obrador shines for Spain! Benfica star key in epic comeback (Video) | OneFootball

Rafael Obrador was in the starting lineup for Spain’s U21 national team victory against their Finnish counterparts. The match ended with a win for nuestros hermanos, 2-1, in a game that became very complicated but ultimately finished with a comeback on the scoreboard.

Let’s start by highlighting Rafael Obrador’s presence as a starter for Spain’s U21 team. The Benfica player was the only representative from the Portuguese league on the pitch, having been chosen ahead of Ivan Fresneda, for example, who did not leave the substitutes’ bench.

As for the match itself, Spain started on top, but Finland managed to balance the game, always matching Rafael Obrador’s team. Halftime arrived with no goals scored, and the first goal of the game only came in the 65th minute, an own goal by Gasiorowski that gave Finland the lead.

The reaction from Spain’s national team began at that point. Rafael Obrador, who showed great defensive solidity throughout the match, was substituted in the 88th minute, and watched from the bench as Mayenda (90’) and Gonzalo Garcia (90+3’) scored, confirming the Spanish comeback already in stoppage time.

The Spanish national team, featuring Benfica’s Rafael Obrador, is now, just like Portugal, in a good position to qualify for the U21 European Championship. The Spaniards are in first place in Group A, with three wins from three matches.
