Spain Defeats Italy 1-0 in UEFA Euro 2024 Match
The UEFA Euro 2024 Group B match between Spain and Italy ended with a decisive 1-0 victory for Spain in Gelsenkirchen. The only goal of the match was an own goal scored by Italy’s Riccardo Calafiori in the 55th minute, giving Spain the lead and ultimately securing three points for La Roja.

Spain dominated possession and created numerous chances throughout the match, putting pressure on Italy’s defense. Despite several attempts from Italy, they struggled to break down Spain’s organized back line and failed to register a shot on target in the first half. Spain’s attacking duo, Nico Williams and Álvaro Morata, were particularly active, causing constant problems for the Italian defense.

With this result, Spain secured their place in the Euro 2024 knockout stage, while Italy will need a result in their final group match to ensure progression. Spain’s victory also marks their second consecutive win in the group, following their earlier success against Croatia. The match highlighted Spain’s technical superiority and tactical discipline under coach Luis de la Fuente.
