The Spanish selection went out to dominate, as of habit along the Eurocopa, but precisely this stage no incomodó to England, very accustomed to play to defend in this tournament. The Spaniards presionaron up, as always, trying that the English lost some committed balloon to generate something of danger. However, in the only loss of the British, work of Phil Foden, Lamine Yamal could not surpass to Luke Shaw, big surprise of the XI of Gareth Sothgate, that commanded the ball to corner.
While the ones of Luis de la Fuente looked for spaces in the férrea defence of the English selection, the 'Three Lions' looked for the direct game with long balloons of Pickford. The ones of the islands arrived some time to the frontal of the area to the against, but were not hit in the last pass and his actions finished in at all. The clearest occasion of England in the first-half, and was not big thing, arrived after a series of rebounds that finish finishing Foden to few metres of the goal to the hands of Unai Simón.
By part of Spain neither there was big arrivals, although the Spaniards tried it in some opportunity, like a shot of Dani Elm that cut easy Harry Kane, but that in case to having happened could have put in difficulties to Pickford. To the edge of the rest, in the 43', Álvaro Morata almost does to sound the "uy" in Berlin after litigating a balloon inside the area, very near of the British goalkeeper, that if it had finished winning could have meant the wished 1-0.
The Spanish selection went to the changing rooms with a feeling agridulce by his fault of ideas and 'punch' up, but hardly took a minute and half in showing why has been the best of this Eurocopa. Lamine, disappeared in fight in the first time, attained to receive in a dangerous zone, did his classical diagonal and saw the desmarque of Nico Williams in the second stick. The one of the Athletic did not waste the 'caramelito' of his fellow and with a big shot crossed of left-handed advanced to his country and approached a bit more the title.
With the 1-0, England took a step forward to look for the tie, but Spain lived quite calm during the following minutes. In fact, Lamine was very near to mark the second after a bad control after a pass to the space of the that knew redo to put in serious aprietos to Pickford, that took out his good shot with a big unemployed. But in front of the 'big' all can happen in spite of not being well and the English took advantage of the spaces that left the ones of De la Fuente for empatar in the 73'. Saka Saw to Jude Bellingham inside the area, the madridista put it to him of face to Cole Palmer, that had gone out minutes before, and the one of Chelsea put it rasa from out of the area far of the scope ofAn i.
But the reality is that the 'Red' never surrenders and after another very clear opportunity of Yamal that went back to stop Pickford, Mikel Oyarzabal, already in the minute 86, pushed at the end of the goal a glorious centre of Marc Cucurella, that definitely has been one of the big sorpesas of the tournament. The captain of the Real desató the madness and left the Eurocopa in the hands of Spain.
