Goal.com 西班牙 葡萄牙 賽後評分 - 世足

SPAIN

Casillas: 5.5 - The normally reliable goalkeeper was unsure with his
handling, tipping a shot straight up in the air and also needlessly spilling
a Ronaldo free kick. He lacked the commanding authority normally associated
with the 100-cap goalie and was fortunate to keep a clean sheet, especially
as his opposite number outperformed him considerably.

Sergio Ramos: 7.5 - He had limited success down the right as an attacking
force before the break and was overshadowed by the excellent work of
Coentrao. Furthermore, he was also slow to retreat to his defensive position
from a corner which almost proved costly for the Spanish. In the second half
however, he was much more significant as an attacking threat and his ability
to go on the outside or cut back inside posed problems for Coentrao. Almost
scored a fine goal but was foiled by Eduardo.

Puyol: 7 - Another assured showing at the back from the captain who threw
himself at everything the Portuguese had to give. Despite his partner still
not being on top form, Puyol was reliable and willing to give everything for
the cause.

Pique: 6 - Performed better in this game than he had previously, resisting
more often the temptation to go to ground on most occasions. He was relieved
when Almeida was brought off as the big striker's pace was too much for him
at times and still looks some way short of his best.

Capdevila: 5 - Though he was pinpointed as a potential weak link, neither
Ronaldo nor Simao ever really exposed him. He was the source of bad blood
between the sides with the Portuguese believing that he playacted to ensure
Ricardo Costa was sent off. He was fortunate to escape harsh disciplinary
action himself for a push.

Busquets: 6 - The most defensive of the midfield quartet is not in the same
league as a passer of the ball as the others however he did a tidy job
breaking up attacks. Portugal were though content for him to have the ball,
if it meant it wasn't at the feet of Xavi or Iniesta.

Xavi: 6.5 - The little wizard was not at his absolute most fluent in the
first half and he misplaced more passes than usual. However as the game wore
on, he always made himself available and started to link up well with
Iniesta, which could be ominous for the Paraguayans.

Xabi Alonso: 6 - Unable to enact a stranglehold on the game however he didn't
allow that to detract from his ball-winning duties in the midfield.
Considering he was playing with an ankle injection, he did an admirable if
not spectacular job.

Iniesta: 8 - The Don was back to full fitness and so it proved tonight. He
roamed everywhere and anywhere and refused to be downhearted by a spirited
Portuguese rearguard action. The close control and awareness he showed in the
build up to Villa's goal when he found room others would be incapable of even
thinking existed highlighted his undoubted class and it will be a frightening
proposition if he reaches his peak in this tournament.

David Villa: 8.5 - What more can one say about El Guaje? He continues to
deliver on the big stage even when being played off the left hand side. Did
he scowl about being played out of position? Did he ever! He was a constant
menace throughout leaving Ricardo Costa for dead on numerous occasions and
his goal displayed his predatory skills and quick thinking. Torres or not,
Villa is undoubtedly the numero uno of Spain's attack.

Torres: 5 - Once more not at his sharpest, he lacked the cutting edge and
consistently frustrated upfront for the Spanish. In terms of his performances
alone, he doesn't deserve to start the quarter-final with Llorente impressing
once he came on.

Substitutes:

Llorente: 7 - The big, bustling Llorente was a breath of fresh air in the
second period and he helped to revive Spain's chances in the game as he gave
them a different, more physical dimension in the second half. Should have
scored with a diving header.

Pedro: N/A

Marchena: N/A





PORTUGAL

Eduardo: 8 - An extremely confident performance from the Braga man who has
been one of the goalkeepers of the tournament. Up against arguably football's
finest number one, he outshone Iker Casillas with not only a string of
outstanding saves but a calm assurance behind his back four.

Ricardo Costa: 5 - By no means a natural in the position, he started shakily
and was beaten repeatedly by David Villa who ghosted past him without effort.
His evening ended on a sour note with his dismissal for an elbow on
Capdevila.

Bruno Alves: 6 - The imposing Porto centre-half dealt well with Torres but
found himself pulled from pillar to post once Llorente came on.

Ricardo Carvalho: 7 - Another classy performance by the craftiest of
defenders at the back. His positional sense and reading of the game was
immaculate and he even found time to save the bacon of Ricardo Costa who was
evidently struggling.

Fabio Coentrao: 6.5 - The wing-back started in a composed fashion with some
excellently timed interceptions and challenges. However he was exposed by
Ramos in the second half and also failed to deliver enough quality balls into
the box.

Pepe: 6 - A workhorse in front of the back four, he covered a great deal of
ground and was a nuisance to the Spanish midfield as he continually snapped
at their heels. Once his side were in arrears though, he was pretty much
redundant and Queiroz was correct in taking him off.

Tiago: 6 - The midfielder who scored a brace against North Korea was a great
deal more subdued in this encounter and though he did an honest job screening
the back four, when the onus was upon him to get attacks going from deep, he
did struggle somewhat.

Raul Meireles: 6 - The most forward thinking of Portugal's midfield trio was
stifled somewhat by both his side's tactics and the neat passing of his
Spanish counterparts. He did however find some space in wide areas and his
accurate crosses were Portugal's biggest attacking threat Almeida aside.

Cristiano Ronaldo: 5 - The world's most expensive player endured another
frustrating big game in a major tournament. He cut a desolate figure as the
match progressed, seeming unsure of how he was meant to play. He did have a
couple of shots on target but in general play barely worried the Spanish
defence at all.

Simao: 5 - Unsurprisingly restored to the starting line up, he did his best
to combine with Fabio Coentrao down the left hand side however like Ronaldo
he never got a foothold in the game, credit for which does have to be
attributed to Sergio Ramos.

Hugo Almeida: 7 - The Bremen target man at times ploughed a lone furrow
upfront and disappointed by missing a couple of headed chances however also
showed a surprising turn of speed to beat Pique. As his side's brightest
outlet, it was mystifying why he was taken off and even more so once Spain
had scored.

Substitutes:

Danny: 5 - Another disappointing cameo from the ￡30 million winger down the
left hand side. He took up some threatening positions without ever being able
to capitalise.

Liedson: 5 - He caused a few hearts to skip a beat in the Spanish defence
late on but didn't look the threat he was at the end of the qualifying
campaign. It doesn't help when he is shifted in and out of the side.

Pedro Mendes: 5 - He came on in order to get the ball down and start playing.
Unfortunately, by the time he was introduced, Xavi and Iniesta were running
the show and the Sporting midfield never stood a chance.
