Spain concludes its group stage in the women's water polo European Championship with a win against Romania
The Spanish national team closed with authority its run through the preliminary phase of the Women's European Water Polo Championship. The national team, which had already achieved two previous victories, overcame Romania and secured its ticket to the next stage of the tournament taking place in Funchal, Portugal. 🏊♀️🇪🇸
An opportunity for the new generations
The match allowed the head coach Jordi Valls to rotate the team and give playing time to athletes with less experience. This strategy did not affect the collective performance, which showed solid play in all lines.
Match keys:- Wide victory that reflects the Spanish dominance throughout the match.
- The team functioned well both in defense and in generating goal opportunities.
- The Romanian goalie had great difficulties deciding which way to move.
When the scoreboard is so uneven, the most complex thing for the goalkeeper is not stopping the ball, but choosing which corner to look at first.
Queralt Antón, figure of the attack
The player Queralt Antón stood out among those who took advantage of the opportunity. She scored five goals and established herself as a fundamental piece in her team's offense. Her contribution was decisive in reaching the final score. ⚽🌟
Next objectives for the national team:- Spain finished its participation in Group B impeccably.
- The focus is now on the second phase of the European Championship.
- The rivals in this new stage will be the teams from Israel and Netherlands.
Looking forward in the competition
The national team's goal is to maintain the high level of play demonstrated and continue progressing in the tournament. The solidity shown and the ability to give opportunities to the group promise an interesting future in the competition. 🥇
