DUESSELDORF, Germany (Reuters) - Albania coach Sylvinho suggested that Spain’s second team could win the Euros, and though they will probably face stiffer challenges on the training field this week, the stand-ins duly showcased the squad’s depth on Monday.
Their 1-0 win over Albania that made it three out of three with five goals scored and none conceded and sent them into the knockout stage on a high was a combination of controlled play, almost in second gear, followed by some resolute defending in some testing late exchanges.
