87th-minute goal from Oyarzabal sent the Spaniards into dreamland

Spain secured their record fourth European Championship title with a dramatic 2-1 victory over England in the Euro 2024 final, thanks to an 86th-minute winner by substitute Mikel Oyarzabal. The match, held at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, saw Spain crowned champions after winning all seven games in the tournament.

The first half was cautious, with Spain dominating possession but England registering the only shot on target. The deadlock was broken just two minutes into the second half when teenager Lamine Yamal created space down the right and provided an assist for Nico Williams, who slotted the ball home to give Spain the lead.

England, who had fallen behind for the fourth consecutive game in the tournament, equalized in the 73rd minute through substitute Cole Palmer. However, their hopes of claiming their first major international trophy in 58 years were dashed when Oyarzabal slid in to finish off a break and secure the victory for Spain.

This victory marks Spain’s continued dominance in European football, adding to their previous titles won in 1964, 2008, and 2012. The win also highlighted the effectiveness of Spain’s younger talents, such as Yamal, in critical moments of the match.
