"Outstanding defending," Clive Tyldesly called!
"It really is a challenge and a half!"
"One of the very few defenders anywhere who seems genuinely comfortable against Lamine Yamal."
"Yeah, it's been like this for a while," McCoist nodded.
"Even in the Nations League, the PSG leftback rendered Yamal really ineffective!"
Taking advantage of Mendes's tackle, Renato Veiga collected the loose ball and then quickly turned it into Diogo Costa as Portugal escaped again.
Lamine quickly climbed back to his feet, raising one hand toward his teammates.
"My fault," he mouthed, but nobody really stuck on that as Portugal, now with the ball in their reins again, tried to settle.
One pass became two.
Two became five, and despite Spain's charge, led by Izan, Portugal refused to panic.
Every passing lane Izan tried to close simply opened somewhere else.
One man couldn't press 5 at the same time.
"They're bypassing Spain's press beautifully," Clive called a moment later.
