(sabasports resport) Spain showed great strength and teamwork against Croatia in the first round of Euro Group B. Morata opened the scoring and is now tied for third place in the history of the tournament. Fabian Ruiz’s cross and Carvajal’s opening goal for the national team gave Spain a comfortable 3-0 win to get the tournament off to a perfect start.
The referee awarded a penalty and booked Rodri in the 79th minute after Livaković miscued a pass that led to him bringing down Petković in the area. Petkovic’s penalty was saved by Unai Simon, but Perišić then chipped in with a counter shot, which was disallowed after a VAR review found Perišić had entered the area illegally.
At the end of the day, Spain thumped Croatia 3-0, showing how good they are in attack and defence. The victory not only provided Spain with three valuable points, but also demonstrated their strength and determination as serious contenders for the European Championship.
