Chile defeated Spain 2-0 using a pressing system that prevented Spain from playing centrally. Chile pressed high up the field in a 5-3-2 formation to force Spain backwards and deflect play wide. This allowed Chile's midfield to overload central areas and stop Spain's possession game. When defending, Chile dropped into a compact 5-3-2 to deny space centrally. On offense, Chile counterattacked quickly after regaining possession, looking to play the ball behind Spain's defense. This tactical approach gave Chile success in overcoming Spain.

15. 5. Conclusion
1. Defensive Tactics (Recognising to Press/Drop)
Chile First Reaction Was To Regain Quickly
The System Allowed Them to Have Bodies In Every Area & Overload MID
When They Couldnt Press/Regain, They Deflected Wide/Away From
Central Areas.
When Dropping They Played With Flat Back 5, With 3 In Front. This
Forced Spain To Attempt Playing Around, Rather then Through
2. Penetration in Attack (Movement/Dribbling/Passing)
Upon Regaining Possession, Chile Fluid System Allowed Them to Push
5/6 Bodies Forward.
First Thought Was To Turn Spain (Ball Behind), & Allow Attacking Players
to Chase/Press
Tactic Was Employed Thoroughly As It Kept Ball High & Away From
Chile Goal As Well As Keeping Pressure on Spain.
