Fernando Hierro, Spanish coach, opted this Friday for Diego Costa up front, Nacho Fernández at right back and Koke Resurrección in midfield in his first eleven and in the debut in the 2018 World Cup in Russia against Portugal at the Fisht stadium. from Sochi.
Spain comes out with goalkeeper Special Data David de Gea; the defenders Nacho Fernández, Sergio Ramos, Gerard Piqué and Jordi Alba; the center midfielders Koke Resurrección and Sergio Busquets; Isco Alarcón, Andrés Iniesta and David Silva, ahead; and Diego Costa as the most advanced man for the duel with the Portuguese bloc.
In Portugal, Fernando Santos lines up Rui Patricio; Cedric Soares, Pepe, José Fonte, Raphael Guerreiro; William Carvalho, Joao Moutinho; Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Gonçalo Guedes; and Cristiano Ronaldo.José María Giménez, in the 89th minute, with an agonizing header from a free kick taken from the right side by Carlos Sánchez, ended Egypt's resistance, which was one step away from tying a tie without Mohamed Salah and with a good performance by their goalkeeper, Mohamed El Shenawy.
Uruguay, which had not won its first World Cup match since Mexico 1970, when it defeated Israel 2-0, broke a curse that lasted 48 years. He did it when it seemed that this curse was going to last four more years after a match in which his forwards ran out of firepower.
Above all, Luis Suárez, who missed four clear chances that he does not usually miss, while his battle partner, Edinson Cavani, found himself with the post and the goalkeeper, who made a save against the Paris Saint Germain player just before the goal. Gimenez.
But before the start of the clash, practically only one name was repeated: Mohamed Salah. The question of whether he could play had not been resolved, his recovery after injuring his right shoulder in the Champions League final was still not certain, and all the theories were fueled. His coach, Héctor Cúper, the day before, assured that he was going to be on the grass of the Ekaterinburgo Arena.
Maybe it was a strategy of the Argentine coach. He announced the most likely lineup of his star to try to mislead Óscar Washington Tabárez, who an hour earlier knew that Salah would finally watch the match with the substitutes.
