Spain Clinches Euro 2024 with Dramatic 2-1 Win Over England
In a thrilling Euro 2024 final held in Berlin, Spain triumphed over England 2-1 to secure their record-breaking fourth European Championship. The match was marked by intense drama and spectacular goals, showcasing the best of European football.

The first breakthrough came shortly after the halftime break when Nico Williams, one of Spain's standout performers, scored from a precise pass by 17-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal. This early second-half goal energized La Roja, who then dominated the game with a series of near-misses and relentless pressure on the English defense.

England's resilience paid off midway through the second half when substitute Cole Palmer equalized with a stunning left-footed strike from outside the box, sending the English fans into a frenzy. The match seemed destined for extra time, but Spain had other plans.

With just under five minutes remaining, Mikel Oyarzabal converted a perfect assist from Marc Cucurella, sealing the victory for Spain and igniting wild celebrations among their supporters. This victory adds to Spain's impressive Euro titles from 1964, 2008, and 2012.

The final started with both teams cautiously testing each other, and while Spain controlled possession, England had the first significant chance with Phil Foden's shot on target just before halftime. Spain faced a setback when Manchester City midfielder Rodri was injured and replaced by Martín Zubimendi, but they quickly recovered, with Williams' goal setting the tone for the second half.

England, aiming for redemption after their Euro 2020 heartbreak, saw a tactical switch with Ollie Watkins replacing Harry Kane. This change injected new energy into the team, culminating in Palmer's equalizer. However, Spain's relentless pursuit of victory paid off with Oyarzabal's decisive goal.
