“Could be better, but could be worse, because in the last 20 minutes I felt the team really tired,” said Ruben Amorim.
“But until the penalty, I felt that the team was in control of the game. After the goal, we were so near the second goal with transitions.
“You felt in the stadium, they were nervous, but in the end, the penalty, I think they changed a little bit.
“And then when the momentum changed, we get tired more easily. We take the game to Old Trafford and we will try to win that.”
The Spaniards won on their last visit to Manchester, on an eerie occasion, as the United Kingdom mourned the death of Queen Elizabeth II. After tonight's result in San Sebastian, that same scoreline will have to be avoided.
It could have been better, but it's all to play for!
