#3 Spain's youngster Enrique González posed a huge threat

Argentina v Spain - FIH Men's Hockey World Cup

Crisp skills and a brisk run by Enrique González on the right flank helped Spain get their first Penalty corner -- off which they scored as well. It was a beatifully worked out Penalty corner with a clever dummy making the defenders focus on Quemada while the ball was passed on to Josep Romeu -- who scoread a with a clinical finish to give his side the lead again.

The 22-year-old Gonzalez was a real live wire up front. He looked purposeful and made extremely dangerous runs. Gonzalez scored the opener for his team in the 3rd minute thanks to attentive play and by dispossessing an Argentinian defender. The youngster was always at the heart of the game and the crowd expected something to happen whenever the ball came to him.

Pau Quemada was also exceptional for Spain and almost got the lead for Spain in the 4th quater with a brilliant individual effort. However, the Argentinian custodian Vivaldi did well to come off his line quickly to intercept him.

Enrique González could have made it 4-4 in the final second and help his team snatch a point as he had the opportunity to shoot at goal. It would have been a really freakish finish but he missed the ball completely. The youngster was just distraught when he missed that chance. Besides this one missed opportunity, the Spaniard weaved magic on field.
