Spain's under 17 side failed
to qualify for the finals after finishing second in their group to Switzerland.
Juan Santiesteban's team needed a big score against Poland to be sure of
topping their mini-league, and they seemed to be on their way when Diego Capel
set up Real Madrid's Bueno to open the scoring in the twentieth minute of the
match. But even though they couldn't add to their lead, for ten minutes or so
they were through after Switzerland's opponents Denmark equalised their
opponents earlier goal in the other group match. However the Swiss scored again
to win 2-1, and with Spain's tie ending 1-0, the central European side qualify
on superior goal difference. |
