Kucka took a penalty kick, passed through the Spanish wall, and the ball flew straight to the goalkeeper. I. Casillas touched the ball but could not deflect it.
"The Reds started falling behind after a clear mistake by I. Casillas. It was an unfortunate decision, after which the ball flew into the goal.

"After R. Mak's attempt, saved by I. Casillas, the Spaniards reacted to this warning, but failed to defend against the home team's goal. The Slovaks succeeded on the second attempt. J. Kucka scored the goal, with a huge mistake by I. Casillas helping him," - the goalkeeper is criticized by mundodeportivo.com.
