England ties 1-1 with a powerful kick of Palmer. Very good goal in counterattack. Spain has been weak in front of counterattacks this championship. ---

Spain scored again: 2-1, goal of Oyarzabal. This game is exciting as heck! Tremendously dangerous chance for England!!! Yamal substituted by Merino. ---

And now it’s over. A deserved win today, and a very deserved win of the whole tournament by Spain, congrats to them. It rarely happens that the best team of the tournament wins in the end, but this time that’s undisputed. ---

Gutted but totally deserved by Spain. England got found out when they faced a decent team. Never looked good, just great players having good moments. Well done Spain.
