Pedri, who had committed to pressing, was suddenly forced to turn sharply as the ball nearly caught him too.
When he'd turned enough, he reacted instantly and poked the ball into the feet of Rodri before the ball could further move away and the Manchester City player quickly made use of it.
Before any of the Portuguese players could sense where the ball was, he sent a long ball out to Lamine and instantly, Spain were away.
Lamine took the ball with Nuno Mendes already closing him down, and the Portuguese full-back stayed so tight that Lamine could feel him before he even turned.
But like he'd learned, Lamine touched the ball inside and arriving there was none other than Izan.
He had dropped off the Portuguese defence and now received the ball with Vitinha closing from behind, but instead of controlling it, Izan let it run.
Vitinha stepped forward expecting contact but immediately realised that there was none as the ball rolled straight beyond him and into Olmo's path.
