Silenced Oslo. Spanish midfielder Saúl Ñíguez was responsible for opening the scoring in the match between Spain and Norway in the seventh round of Group F of the Euro 2020 qualifiers. The Atletico Madrid player excelled with a great finish from outside the area to score 1-0 for his team in the always difficult Ullevaal Stadium.
The play leading up to the first goal of the thrilling match came just 46 minutes into the second half, after a great offensive action from Spain, which ended with a series of rebounds outside the area that favored the Red Team. Immediately, Sergio Busquets opened play with Saúl who, without thinking twice, took a powerful shot at goal. However, the local goalkeeper could have done more to prevent the goal.

Spain, unbeaten leader and with a perfect score in Group F of the Euro 2020 qualifiers, hopes to celebrate its qualification in Norway and give a great joy to its captain Sergio Ramos, who set a record of appearances for the national team in this match. A regular in the final stages, the Red Team is also one step away from qualifying in its group F.
A victory in Norway (18:45), along with a defeat or draw for Romania in the Faroe Islands, or a surprise defeat for Sweden in Malta, would secure Roberto Moreno's team a spot in the next Euro. The news also revolves around its captain, Sergio Ramos, who, after today's match, will be the player with the most appearances for Spain, with 168 matches, surpassing Iker Casillas.
