Spain Put On Five-Star Finish By Thrashing Ragged Romania

By Daily Sports on November 19, 2019

Spain finished their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign with a bang as they thrashed Romania 5-0 on Monday to secure a top seeding in the draw for the finals later this month.

With automatic qualification sealed and first place guaranteed after their 7-0 demolition of Malta on Saturday, Spain indulged in another goal-fest at the Wanda Metropolitano, where Villarreal striker Gerard Moreno scored twice.

Yet despite 10 games unbeaten in group F, including eight wins and 31 goals scored, Robert Moreno’s position as coach is in doubt, with reports in Spain emerging before kick-off that Luis Enrique could be back in charge next summer.

Luis Enrique’s resignation in June thrust his assistant Moreno into the spotlight but the team's progress was never in doubt, even if a kind group offers little certainty that Spain will fare as well against stronger opposition in seven months’ time.

Sweden had already qualified in second, while Romania knew they and Norway were destined for the playoffs, which perhaps contributed to a ragged display from the visitors that saw them trail by four goals at halftime.

If Luis Enrique is to return, he will inherit a Spain squad high on confidence but low on continuity or cohesion, with several key positions and partnerships still to be established. (SuperSport)
