Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal got on the scoresheet as Spain defeated England to emerge the winner of the 2024 Euro tournament. Nico Williams scored the opening goal in the match on Sunday night
However, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer scored an equalizer for England to make the game 1-1 in the second half following an assist from Jude Bellingham. Fortunately for Spain, Oyarzabal, who came in for Alvaro Morata, netted the final goal in the 86th minute of the game played at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. Spain has been extremely impressive throughout the competition.
Recall that Spain knocked out France 2-1 in the semi-finals, with Lamine Yamal becoming the youngest scorer in the history of Euros. Naija News recalls that Spain won the Euro title in 1964, 2008 and 2012. Spain is now four times European champions following Sunday night’s victory against England.
Speaking in a post-match interview, Oyarzabal, who came on as a substitute for captain Alvaro Morata said:
“I did my job and what I had to and was lucky enough to score the goal for the win. “When you are among the 26 names to be picked, that is special enough, but then to get to help the team like I did, that is the most important part.” It is worth noting that England has now lost back-to-back Euro finals and is still without a major title since winning the 1966 World Cup.
