Euro Cup 2024 final, Spain vs England Highlights: Spain wins 4th title, ESP 2 | 1 ENG at full time

Spain secured a record fourth European Championship title on Sunday after Mikel Oyarzabal’s 87th-minute goal clinched a 2-1 victory over England, extending England’s decades-long wait for a major trophy.

Oyarzabal slid in to poke home Marc Cucurella’s cross, just when the game at Berlin’s Olympiastadion seemed destined for extra time after another resilient performance by England at the tournament.

Substitute Cole Palmer equalised for England in the 73rd minute to cancel out Nico Williams’ opener in the 47th minute, following a pass from 17-year-old prodigy Lamine Yamal.

Spain also won the title in 1964, 2008, and 2012.

England’s men’s team has now lost back-to-back Euro finals and remains without a major title since winning the 1966 World Cup.

It is another agonising loss for one of the world’s most underperforming national teams, this one occurring in front of Prince William and Spain’s King Felipe at the venue built for the 1936 Olympics.

After the final whistle, Williams put his hands to his face before being embraced by his teammates. Dani Carvajal slumped to the field and was piled on by jubilant teammates.

Yamal, Marc Cucurella, and Dani Olmo were among the first to jump over the advertising hoardings to reach the Spanish fans in the stadium’s east end.
