A 55th-minute own goal by Italy’s Riccardo Calafiori gave Spain the victory in the first meeting of these international heavyweights at the European Championship. Three-time winners Spain thoroughly dominated the Group B game at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, with 16-year-old winger Lamine Yamal further solidifying his reputation as one of soccer’s most exciting young stars with an incredible performance. Spain’s victory advanced them to the round of 16 at Euro 2024.
Prior to unintentionally shoving the ball into Calafiori’s legs, Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made a series of excellent saves to keep the score low. However, Donnarumma was unable to stop the ball from ricocheting into his own goal.
In Group C, England and Denmark drew 1-1 after Harry Kane scored the first goal and then made an error that allowed the Danes to equalize. In Frankfurt, Kane gave his team a lead thanks to a record-breaking 64th goal. Nevertheless, Morten Hjulmand was able to equalize from a distance after his careless pass.
