Spain vs. Italy Full Highlights | EURO2024

it’s the 11th encounter between these two big hitters at a major tournament a record between European nations and the fifth Euro in a row in which they’ve gone Head to Head luchano spalletti names an unchanged team for Italy Ricardo cafri and alesandro Baston look solid as the new Central defensive pairing Nicolo Barella is the Midfield driving force he scored the winner against Albania David fratesi was their top scorer in qualifying with three and five appearances and januca skaka is the focal point up front Spain make one change from the first game with a fit again IM leaport coming into Central defense replacing nacho who’s picked up an injury rodri anchors their Midfield 16-year-old Yamin lamal is the youngest player to ever feature at the Euro finals and Alvaro Morata leads the attack he scored the opening goal in the 3-0 win over Croatia and it’s the holders Italy who get us underway with Nicolo barela in Italy all in white tonight it layoff collected by Fabian Ruiz and kukara kukara who is keeping his place at left back and the header just tipped over the top of the crossbar pedri getting in there and Italy who conceded after 23 seconds in the first match almost concede inside a minute and a half here yeah I should have scored pedri is a great ball in by Williams and he actually is a free head he’s quite a small player pedri but that’s a free header he’s very good at sneaking up into interesting positions foresi but Italy now very much backtracking as pedri sends it away towards the far side marata in great chance and Williams can’t send it [Applause] in tell you what William has been front and center marata started that held it up well but that is a ball that’s just inviting someone to put it in the back of the net and he’s not really as confident with his head I don’t know whether he thought he was going to get some contact into yal away from DeMarco it’s brilliant play from laminal and now it’s with Morata and the angle was getting more and more acute with every passing stride the pitch in two or three passes but this is his run and he just pass and these are quality Defenders he did well in the end calori but it just ran on to marata in good for Barella again Italy struggling to keep hold of the ball Fabian Ruiz senses a chance to go for goal cracking shot great save as well on a rumor asking the question in the nicest possible way opened up there and we’ve seen that a lot in this tournament haven’t we players seen space in front of them letting fly really well done a RoR Super Save yamal Riz it’s beautifully worked Danny Carvajal it’s rodri big block made by Bast from Ruiz to play this pass he can see the overlap and how many times have we seen that happen in football the cut back to rodri but it was again really good defending the plays in the right place prepared to put bodies on the line defending little turn away from jinho by pedri here’s Morata and Fabian Ruiz it’s comfortable for Dona ety survive and maybe the chance to break here as Pelini sends it forward Ruiz momentarily in the way K now with a chance to run and put some pressure on the Spanish goal many injuries in the last couple of years it’s with Williams into Kara and pedri puts it [Applause] wide actually unlucky there pedri because it was absolutely fizzed at him by Kara just needed a little bit more of a turnout of the foot but it was Fizz him great position to get himself into here’s pedri once more going for goal that was a finger Stinger for Don yeah reacted quickly as it came off his glov but again [Applause] it Williams away from dorenzo oh it’s an goal the Breakthrough is made and Ricardo calafi the unfortunate Defender who just couldn’t get out of the way or turn it away Spain’s pressure finally tells tell you what I’ve talked in the first half about Williams being so proficient on both feet so he could put the ball into the box with his right foot and Cur it in or he can go around on his left foot and put it into the box and because of that he creates that chance and it’s fortunately put in the back of the net by califi but it’s all about him and the ball in Don R was nowhere near and again it comes so quick this is when you put the ball into a dangerous area great little flick from marata the unfortunate ciori but that’s about putting the ball in dangerous areas and anybody could get a touch on it and it’s probably just what they deserve Spain for what they’ve done so far in this game 3 minutes short of an hour their back Ling again Fabian Ruiz it could open up here for Spain pedri picks out Alo morat who goes for goal and tests Don a rumor again take it from over there till the referee pointed out to him that it was they were ready to go on the Spanish left and the head CLE off the line literally properly at Full Tilt giving everything just everything last ditch now for them I mean yamal federo dearco and have red shirts forward here might not need any of them wouldn’t that have been something tell you what he gets all of the ball starts running with it it’s like tackling fall you can’t get close to him and he’s got that as well as you say how close was it very the answer I think probably donara just covered his POS but that is a great effort from yamal impecable field performance from him but Chante wins it back for Italy now he’s kept it in as well R take is in the middle and almost on the end of it bit of room here now rodri karea ni Williams K’s up there in support Williams wants it on his own oh he was so unlucky if there’s one player on that pitch that deserves a goal it’s certainly [Music] Williams great play again which side is he going to go cuz he can go left or right hammers the crossbar great performance from him it’s Lorenzo Pelini referee Lon will have to be careful to number three because he’s already had a yellow card and it comes ni Simon happy to get his hands on it now with AOS Perez back in Spain these days after a long career in England brilliant play by yose Perez Super Save a river leaport Fabian Ruiz and Perez looking to get in behind D Lorenzo again iot Perez another superb stop from Donna rer here’s the here’s the play from Perez again gets in behind but Don rumor how many times has he done that this evening talking five or six times that he’s kept his team in it and they’ve not done the business at the other end he can’t do any more than that he couldn’t have done anything about the own goal right at the end of the match and it goes beond RI back in and over the top of the crossbar now we’re ready cambiaso sends it in good header there by rodri another opportunity Baston getting up Rod away it’s behind and surely that’ll do it for Spain Italy can’t find a way through and the holders beaten in this group by highly fancied Spain who are well worth the victory in the end it was an own goal that decided it a deflection of Ricardo calafiori not much he could have done about that not much donara could have done about it either

Spain and Italy meet once again at the European Championship, and this time the winner would lock up a spot in the Round of 16.
