Great goal for Morata and the World Cup: this was Spain’s 1-0 against Sweden | VIDEO

Álvaro Morata gave immense joy to the more than 47 million Spaniards. The forward was in charge of signing the final 1-0 of the ‘Red’ over Sweden, at the end of group B of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. With this, the Iberians ensure their presence in the World Cup.

The Juventus attacker was a substitute and entered the minute 59 to replace Pablo Sarabia. Almost half an hour later, Morata caught a rebound after a shot from Dani Olmo and, with great elegance, subtly defined to overcome the resistance of goalkeeper Robin Olsen.

The Swedes had started the week at the top of the group, but their defeat against Georgia on Thursday (2-0) and Spain’s victory in Greece (1-0) brought them down to second place.

The week could not have ended in a better way for the ‘Red’, who faced their last two qualifying matches forced to beat Greece and Sweden to get their ticket to Qatar.

Luis Enrique’s men maintained the streak of Spain, which has not missed a World Cup since its absence in Germany-1974.

La ‘Roja’, driven by a Sevillian La Cartuja stadium filled with almost 52,000 spectators after heeding the call of the Spanish coach, monopolized the ball from the first minute.
