For Spain coach Vincente del Bosque, Fernando Llorente will take Torres’s place as the formation’s lone striker. Torres gave Eduardo trouble in the match’s first minute but since has been relatively quiet.
With Danny’s inclusion, Cristiano Ronaldo will assume Portugal’s striker position, setting the Seleccao up to be even more of a counterattacking team.
Portugal and Spain remain scoreless in the 62nd minute.
