Spain U‑17 Pushes Through to Semifinals After Dramatic Defeat
Spain's U‑17 side suffered a 2‑3 defeat to Croatia in a roller‑coaster encounter. A late error by the Croatian defence gave Spain a chance to equalise, but Dedic's hat‑trick sealed the win for the opponents.
Coach Sergio García responded with a massive rotation, retaining only two starters from the previous match. Despite the fatigue, the Spanish youngsters secured a place in the semifinals.
They will face either Italy, France, Denmark or Montenegro next Thursday for a spot in the final.
