After Carolina Marín, Fermín is the second Huelva native to win an Olympic medaland also of oro. And much of it was due to him. Because The one from El Campillo was the one in charge of turning around a game that went wrong at the beginning with a Millot goalin which they joined, the endemic Spain’s defensive deficiency and a mistake by goalkeeper Arnau Tenas.

Because France came close to scoring with a launch of Math and another of Konethe latter repelled in extremis by Arnau Tenas.

He ended up paying for it. First to Mark Akliouche in an incredible way after a lateral foul, and then with the penalty taken and scored by Matetain an action that the referee first let continue – Turrientes grabbed a French player – but then, after being challenged by the VAR, he decreed it as the maximum penalty.
