Demon Notes
- Spain had 27 shots and 2.29 xG. Nil-nil is not the story of a blunt team; it is the story of a goalkeeper and a wall.
- Vozinha was outstanding for fantasy. Eleven points from a budget keeper against Spain is a proper tournament moment.
- Spain defenders still did the job. Laporte and Llorente both returned well, and the clean sheet was deserved.
- The Spain attackers are the awkward bit. The process was there, but no goals means you need to check minutes and price before chasing.
MD2 Fantasy Takeaway
Do not overreact against Spain attackers, but the defenders look useful. Vozinha was brilliant, though repeating that against stronger pressure is a big ask.
