"The team tried, I think we had good fluidity. It's about fine-tuning those chances we created, because against a team that sits back so much you're not going to have many, and you know you have to take them. It's that simple." Spain's Rodri said after the disappointing goalless draw.

"In our heads there’s positivity and a desire to improve. We should have won today’s match with everything that happened, with all the favourable situations we created, but we lacked freshness and clinical edge. We need to keep growing and gaining rhythm. That’s the big goal in the days we have until the next game. The opponent was a very physically strong team. We knew they were going to set up with a very low block and with very powerful players. If you add to that the fact that we lacked freshness, then this happens. Football is like that – there are no small opponents here," Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said.
