Spain defeating England 2-1 wins Euro 2024,
2024.07.15
In the Euro 2024 final on Sunday in Berlin, Spain defeated England 2-1 during a thrilling second half to win a record-breaking fourth European Championship.
Minutes into the second half, Nico Williams, one of Spain’s standout players in the competition, gave La Roja the lead with a deft finish in the bottom corner after a perfectly-weighted pass from the team’s other rising star, the recently 17-year-old Lamine Yamal.
At the Olympiastadion in the German metropolis, England restored level halfway through the second half with a skillfully placed left-footed shot from Cole Palmer outside the box.
However, Mikel Oyarzabal’s inch-perfect ball from Marc Cucurella gave Spain a late lead with little under five minutes left in regular time, capping off a thrilling campaign for La Roja and a triumph.
Spain has now won four European Championships, having done so in 1964, 2008, and 2012. England, on the other hand, is devastated to have lost to Italy on penalties at Euro 2020 for a second consecutive European Championship.
