A disguised pass zipped toward the left, perfectly weighted for Nico. The winger trapped it in stride, feinted right, then burst left, breezing past Kimmich and whipping in a cross.
Yamal lunged for the ball but before he could get to the ball, Rüdiger threw himself at it, deflecting it behind for a corner.
" Lovely cross from Nico but an equally impressive clearance by Rudiger. This match is just beginning but you can feel the intensity it's coming with"
From the set-piece, Lamine Yamal curled in a teasing ball, his delivery vicious and dipping.
Rodri rose highest, outmuscling Havertz, but his header sailed just over the bar.
Spain were growing into the game now.
" What an exciting first few minutes here in Stuttgart. And as we talk, Wirtz has the ball, driving forward. He takes on one, and now he lays it off to Musiala,...…. MUUSIIALAAA!!!!!!!!"
