Spain qualified for the Nations League championship with a late goal from Joselu
Posted : 16 June 2023
Joselu scored a decisive late goal as Spain emerged victorious against Italy, securing their place in the Nations League final against Croatia on Sunday.
The opening goal came from Yeremy Pino, who seized possession from Italian veteran Leonardo Bonucci just outside their own box before finding the back of the net in Enschede, Netherlands.
Italy equalized through Ciro Immobile's penalty after Robin le Normand, making his debut for Spain, handled the ball in the box.
In the closing moments, substitute Joselu capitalized on a deflected shot from Rodri, scoring from close range and propelling Spain into the final in Rotterdam.
Midfielder Rodri expressed the team's determination to win the trophy after a prolonged period without a major title. Spain's last significant triumph was the 2012 European Championship.
Croatia, seeking their first international trophy, will be their opponents in the final, while Italy will face the Netherlands in the third-place play-off earlier on Sunday.
