Spain are European Champions, beat England 2-1
Spain won its record fourth European soccer championship, getting an 86th-minute goal from Mikel Oyarzabal to beat England in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday in Berlin.
Nico Williams provided the first goal for Spain, scoring less than two minutes into the second half after a scoreless opening 45 minutes. Spain looked the better team throughout the match, but England’s Cole Palmer scored the tying goal in the 73rd minute.
Spain previously won the tournament in 1964, 2008 and 2012 and were tied with Germany as the only three-time champions.
This is England’s second consecutive runner-up finish, having lost to Italy in the final of Euro 2020. The country has never won a European championship and its last major international tournament win was the 1966 World Cup.
Spain have won all six of their matches at the tournament – a first by any side in the competition’s injury.
England have recovered from a number of stumbles to produce their most effective performance in the semifinal win against the Netherlands.
Spain are seeking a record fourth Euro title, while England have yet to win the continental competition.
