Spain confirm spot in Euro 2024 knockout stages
GELSENKIRCHEN, GERMANY - JUNE 20: Pedri of Spain , Lamine Yamal of Spain , Dani Carvajal of Spain , Alvaro Morata of Spain celebrating 1-0 during the EURO match between Spain v Italy at the Veltins Arena on June 20, 2024 in Gelsenkirchen Germany
Italy nearly conceded in the opening seconds for the second match running, but a tremendous one-hand save from Gianluigi Donnarumma smothered Pedri profiting Nico Williams’ cross. Morata, who was extremely lively across the front three, looked to get one in after coming from the blind-side but Donnarumma noted the danger and rushed out to parry him.
La Roja eventually got the breakthrough ten minutes to halftime as a flick-on by Morata from Williams’ cross forced Riccardo Calafiori to bundle into his own net from close-range.
