Spain vs Netherlands predictions Mikel Merino of Arsenal was the Spanish first leg hero with his stoppage time equaliser earning La Roja a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands. Merino’s goal puts the Spanish firmly in control of the tie. The in-form midfielder was on hand to convert from close range after Bart Verbruggen couldn’t hold Nico Williams’ low shot in the 93rd minute. It was speedster Williams’ second significant contribution of the night, after the Athletic Club winger had given Luis de la Fuente’s European champions the lead after just nine minutes. Rather than cave in against the Spanish possession game, the Dutch fought back and equalised after 28 minutes when Cody Gakpo fired in a shot from Justin Kluivert’s pass. The Dutch completed the comeback when Tijjani Reijnders scored 39 seconds into the second half. Ronald Koeman’s team then had the unenviable task of trying to keep the Spanish out for the rest of the second half. Things were going well until the 81st minute, when Jorrel Hato saw red for a challenge on Mikel Oyarzabal. The red card didn’t make much difference to the flow of play, the Dutch were already under considerable pressure, but it did make keeping the Spanish at bay an even more difficult task in the remaining minutes. Finally, with the full time whistle only a couple of minutes away, Merino got the all important equaliser and broke the Dutch hearts. The tie isn’t over just yet. But with the scores level going to Valencia for the second leg, the Dutch have a far more difficult task than they would have had they hung on for a couple of minutes more.
