Spain were without a recognized winger on the right flank and so let full-back Quique push forward at will. Míchel regista once again, Andrinúa continuing his sweeping duties behind man marker Górriz. Jiménez less of an attacking threat as he had Begiristain ahead of him. Manolo occasionally came deep to pull away from the towering Northern Irish centre halves, with Vázquez and, in particular, Roberto doing a lot of off-the-ball running from central midfield.
