Spain manager, Luis Enrique also started this match with a 4-3-3 formation. Marco Asensio, Iago Aspas and Rodrigo Moreno led the attacking line.

They were very harmless especially during the first half of this game. Because of that, Enrique decided to introduce Paco Alcacer in the 57th minute of the game.

After just one minute on the field, Alcacer scored a goal after a corner kick. He now has 10 goals scored in the last six matches for both club and country. Alcacer started the game against Wales on Friday and he scored two goals in that match.

He is in really good form and Luis Enrique must utilise that. Alcacer is Spain's best striker at the moment and he deserves to be in the starting lineup. His positioning is very helpful for Spain's positional play and he is a real aerial threat.
