match commentary
  • ▸ Spain were press-resistant and supremely technical in tight spaces as they ran out deserved winners.
  • ▸ Belgium were deadly when space opens up as they fell to a narrow defeat.
  • ▸ Early change for ESP on 55' — Ferran Torres came on (for Álex Baena); possibly an enforced knock.
  • ▸ Early change for ESP on 55' — Pedri came on (for Fabián Ruiz); possibly an enforced knock.
