- The match was defined by a record-breaking goal
- Yamal etched his name in history
Spain booked their place in the Euro 2024 final with a thrilling victory over France. The match was defined by a record-breaking goal and a determined defensive display from the Spanish unit.
France started strong, grabbing an early lead through Randal Kolo Muani’s header from a Kylian Mbappé cross. However, Spain responded emphatically. Just 21 minutes in, 16-year-old wonderkid Lamine Yamal etched his name in history with a stunning curled effort from outside the box, becoming the youngest goalscorer in European Championship history.
Spain doubled their lead moments later when a Dani Olmo shot took a deflection off Jules Kounde and found the back of the net.
The second half saw France push for an equalizer. Aurelien Tchouameni came close with a headed effort, while Mbappé, playing without his protective mask, saw a shot sail over the bar. Despite their efforts, the French attack couldn’t break down a resolute Spanish defense.
Spain’s victory showcases their attacking prowess and defensive solidity. They now await the winner of the England vs. Netherlands clash in a highly anticipated Euro 2024 final.
