Spain defeat England 2-1 to win record fourth Euro title


Spain defeated England 2-1 in the UEFA Euro 2024 final to claim their fourth European Championship title, surpassing Germany as the most successful team in the tournament's history.
 

The decisive goal came in the 86th minute when Mikel Oyarzabal scored the winner for Spain. Spain dominated the first half but were unable to find the breakthrough. 

However, the momentum shifted early in the second half when Lamine Yamal set up Nico Williams to give Spain the lead. 

England equalized in the 73rd minute through a Cole Palmer rocket shot on the assist from Jude Bellingham. Spain's resilience however paid off as they held on for the victory.

The match showcased Spain's exceptional performance throughout the tournament, remaining unbeaten in seven matches, scoring 15 goals, and conceding only four. 
Yamal and Williams celebrate

Yamal, at just 17 years old, became the youngest player to score in a Euros with his goal against France in the semifinals.

For England, this defeat comes as another heartbreak in their quest to win their first European Championship since their World Cup triumph in 1966. Despite the disappointment, the Three Lions can take solace in the progress made under Gareth Southgate's leadership, having reached the final for the second consecutive tournament.


Spain's victory cements their status as one of the most successful teams in European football, and the emergence of young talents like Yamal promises an exciting future for Spanish football.
