Newcastle United new signing Antonito set to face England in semi-finals, if they qualify | OneFootball

As expected, new Newcastle United signing Antonio Cordero (popularly known as Antonito) and some of his other key Spanish international teammates, were rested on Thursday night.

Already through to the semi-finals of the UEFA Under 19 Euro Finals with a game to spare.

Antonito having been one of the top Spanish players as they won 1-0 against Denmark and then 3-1 over Romania.

Tonight, the Spain Under 19s were up against Montenegro.

The 18 year old new Newcastle United winger only introduced in the final 10 minutes, with Spain already 5-0 up and helping them cruise through the final stages.

Romania defeated Denmark 3-0 to grab qualification as runners-up, leaving the final Group A table looking like this.

Spain are the most successful team in the history of this competition, having won twelve titles, they are also the reigning champions. England are next highest with 11 previous title wins in past years, then France with eight.

Spain could potentially play England in the semi-finals.

England kicked off their group matches on Saturday with a 2-2 draw against Norway, then faced Germany on Tuesday when they went 5-1 down before coming back to draw 5-5.

The Netherlands have won both games and are guaranteed to top the group, they face England on Friday and the Dutch likely to field a weakened team ahead of their semi-final.

England will go through and play Spain and Antonito in the semi-finals on Monday if beating the Netherlands. If failing to win their progress will depend on the Germany v Norway match.
