In the seventh minute of the opening, the Heath penalty area was violated by opponents, and Lapino hit penalty kick steadily. The Spanish team equalized the score in just two minutes. Forward elmosoli made a mistake in passing the ball with his opponent and won the goal. This is the first time that the US team has broken goal in this World Cup.

In the 13th minute, Lapino received Lavel through ball at the back of the point, and then shot the door low. Spanish goalkeeper Panios blocked the near angle of goal, blocking the ball out of the boundary.

After the two teams entered the second half with a 1:1 balance, the Spanish team continued to put pressure on the defending champion, but they still fell into a negative situation again because of a foul in the penalty area.

The referee was reminded by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) to check the playback on the court, and then made a penalty kick penalty. The performance of Lapino, who stood at 12 yards and penalty kick points again, was still stable. Panios guessed the right direction, but failed to prevent the ball from drilling into the net nest.

After that, the Spanish team made a substitution adjustment with the intention of equalizing the score. However, the score of 2:1 was still maintained until the end. The Spanish team, who entered the World Cup final table for the second time, unfortunately stopped at the top 16.
