Pau Cubarsi’s Olympic debut did not go as planned.
The central defender received a yellow card already in the 7th minute against Uzbekistan and caused a penalty at the end of the first half, almost receiving a second yellow.
Cubarsi was replaced by Real Sociedad’s Jon Pacheco at halftime. It is a question whether Pau will start Spain’s next game now.
The 17-year-old was in Spain’s Euro 2024 squad, but Luis de la Fuente decided not to take him to the tournament.
It seems he was right as his side won the competition and the centre-back duo of Robin Le Normand and Aymeric Laporte looked solid.
Cubarsi is the youngest player in the Olympic Games, while Spain triumphed in the end 2-1 against Uzbekistan. /Football Match Up/
