Spain became the second team to qualify for the round of 16 of EURO 2024, after hosts Germany. In the early morning of June 21, La Roja defeated Italy with a score of 1-0.
Coach Luis de la Fuente's players were the better team than the defending champions, with a total of 20 shots. However, while goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was excellent, or the goal denied the red-shirt players, the decisive goal came from an Italian defender, Riccardo Calafiori.
The 22-year-old Bologna centre-back became the fifth player to score an own goal at EURO 2024. Despite being the second team to qualify for the knockout round, Spain is the only team yet to concede a goal after 2 matches (scoring 4 goals), and is also the first team to secure top spot in the group.
While Spain continued to play convincingly, England were drowning in criticism. Coach Gareth Southgate's team took the lead against Denmark but then lost control and let their opponents equalize.
Even though Phil Foden's long-range shot hit the post, Denmark deserved to win instead of just getting a point. England were lucky to escape defeat, but although they still top the group, the pressure on Southgate is growing.
In the earliest match, also with a score of 1-1, Slovenia and Serbia brought dramatic developments and a performance worth watching. A physical battle from start to finish, a reasonable tactic helped Slovenia take the lead, while the Serbian coaching staff made chaotic substitutions in a feeling of helplessness.
However, at the last second of 5 minutes of extra time, Luka Jovic saved Serbia, pulling back 1 point as well as the hope of competing for 3rd place.
