What Spain Can Learn

The counterattacking power of Morocco U-20 was evident. Spain, despite its possession, lacked sharpness in the final third, a problem they need to address in the future.

Morocco will face Brazil, aiming to maintain their lead. Meanwhile, Spain will look to recover against Mexico in a crucial match for their survival in the tournament.
