Spain's U-20 World Cup Hopes Rest on Must-Win Against Mexico
Spain's U-20 World Cup campaign is hanging by a thread after a disappointing loss to Morocco. To keep their hopes alive, they must secure a victory against Mexico in their next match. Coach Paco Gallardo may consider changes, particularly in midfield.
Spain's debut performance was lacklustre, with key players failing to deliver. The team's future in the tournament is now uncertain following this defeat. However, there were positives to take from the game. Substitutes Adrian Liso and Joan Virgili injected some much-needed improvement into the team's play. Gallardo may consider starting them against Mexico.
Mexico, meanwhile, have shown promise despite their lack of goals. They held Brazil to a 2-2 draw, demonstrating strong overall play. Their main concern is converting their chances into goals. A win against Spain could see them leading the group going into their final match against Morocco.
Spain faces a must-win situation against Mexico. Gallardo may opt for changes, particularly in midfield, where only Rayane Belaid and Peio Canales shone in the first game. Mexico, despite their lack of goals, pose a significant threat. The winner of this match will have a strong chance of leading the group into the final match against Morocco.
