Spain Secures Historic Fourth EUEFA European Championship with Late Winner Against England

Spain Secures Historic Fourth EUEFA European Championship with Late Winner Against England

Of course, getting through as European champions this time Spain won over England 2-1 in the finals in Berlin on Sunday. By this, they have secured their fourth title in the competition and they are now ahead of Germany in terms of the record set in this regard.

 

In the 86th minute, pure technique again triumphed thanks to the pass from Marc Cucurella to Mikel Oyarzabal who was successful in scoring the winning goal. Afterward, two more good chances were created but both Declan Rice and Marc Guehi had their near header goal attempts saved, thus frustrating England chances of leveling the score.

 

Despite dominating the first half, Spain’s forwards struggled to get the ball behind the opposition’s goal line. It wasn’t until the second half that the breakthrough arose, or rather it happened almost at once.

 

Two minutes into the half, a Spanish forward Lamine Yamal began to advance down the right wing. He had gracefully shifted towards the center of the field to initiate the attack, and produced an accurate pass to Nico Williams, who was coming into the left side of the penalty area. Willaims opened an early account by volleying a powerful shot into the net to make the tally 1-0 in favour of his side.

 

And it was England again in the 73rd minute. Crossing from the right flank, Bukayo Saka saw that Jude Bellingham was in a good position to make a goal in the middle of the box. Bellingham made a quick pass to Cole Palmer who therefore intensified and kicked hard the ball in the far right to score an equalising goal. In the end, they failed to empower the Libyan people sufficiently enough for the country to stand on its own two feet.

 

"I’m euphoric. I’m really happy. We deserved it,” Williams said after the game. “Our parents, the fans, everyone who has been supporting us every day. And here we are, European champions. I’m so happy and wish we can keep going and go for the World Cup." 

 

Thus, the victory granted on Sunday was the highlight of a fantastic journey for Spain. They performed impressively throughout the tournament, more so in seven matches which saw them hit the ball into the net with so much force that it seemed like pride and parcel, and only the basket got four of them. One of the best moments in their season was the coming of a young 17 years old Lamine Yamal, an awesome forward whose breathtaking displays caused a felling among the audiences. Yamal made waves in the semifinals against France with an incredible piece of finish, which makes her the youngest player to score at the European Championship.

 

England was once more faced with the heartbreaking disappointment of unmet expectations. Their tragic journey to win their first European Championship title—and a significant trophy since their historic World Cup triumph in 1966—came to an end. The team led by Gareth Southgate had come agonizingly close, placing second in the Covid-postponed 2020 competition, which took place in 2021. Their ambitions were crushed in an intense penalty shootout that left the crowd gasping in a nail-biting final match against Italy.

 

Harry Kane, the captain of England, remarked last week. “He’s a fantastic player, at 17 years old, to do this in a tournament like this says a lot about him. You can see he plays without fear, with freedom, enjoying himself. He’s going to be one of the most difficult players in the match. I want to congratulate him on what he’s done so far.”

 

“Very happy and looking forward to coming back to Spain and celebrating with all the fans,” Lamine Yamal said.

“It is really the best present there is. It’s a dream. When we were drawing, it was difficult. They pushed us hard, but I know what this team is made of, but we always come back, we always win.”
