Spain and Germany have starred in what for many is the "best match" of Qatar 2022 so far.

The teams led by Luis Enrique and John Herdman offered a spectacular version of modern football to football lovers, where the result was equal for both squads. However, the match was very close to being a victory for La Roja, but a goal in the last quarter of an hour gave life to the Germans.

What was promised to be a great match did not disappoint. In the lead-up to the match, there was much talk about how important it was for Germany, who had unexpectedly lost to Japan, to win. However, they were facing a young Spanish team that came in strong after crushing Costa Rica 7-0.

Sports betting stated that today's match would be evenly matched but with a slight preference for Spain, based on their recent performance in the first round against the Costa Ricans. However, in this sport, the phrase "there is no logic" and "matches have to be played" is becoming more and more true.

The match was highly contested but with great technical and tactical level from both teams. As usual, La Roja, with a strong ball position, caused damage to the German defense with Dani Olmos's and Ferran Torres's diagonal runs. Despite the draw, it was an excellent display by Luis Enrique's team, which could now be called one of the contenders for the title.

There was much talk that Spain's victory over Costa Rica was due to the level of the opponent. "They have to play against a stronger team, that's where we will see what they are made of," wrote users on social media. So, under that premise, the match against Germany was an excellent gauge to assess the true potential of this young Spanish squad.

Although the match ended in a draw, the statistics and the course of the game indicate that Luis Enrique's boys dominated the game through ball possession and an excellent ability to play with advanced lines in order to regain the ball whenever Germany tried to surprise.

Although a match lasts 90 minutes of play, plus injury time, Spain played at a high level almost throughout the entire period. However, a defensive lapse near the 80th minute leveled the score, opening up the possibilities of victory for both nations.

In conclusion, if Spain continues in the same direction, being a young team that has not yet reached its peak, it could go from being considered as a possible surprise in Qatar to becoming a strong candidate for this edition of the World Cup. The upcoming matches will respond to these expectations.
