Spain is beating Northern Ireland (2-1) in the last preparation match for Euro 2024, after having started down on the scoreboard. Defender Daniel Ballard put the visitors ahead in a set-piece action as soon as the match began. However, a few minutes later, Pedri equalized the match with a great right-footed shot and Morata completed the comeback with a header after a cross from Navas. Exactly one week before the debut in the continental competition against Croatia, the Spanish team seeks to achieve one more victory that reinforces the confidence and good feelings of the team, after the overwhelming victory against Andorra in Badajoz. This Saturday’s match, based in Son Moix, is also the first match since coach Luis de la Fuente announced the final list of 26 players who will travel to Germany in the coming days.

Spain is a gale
Spain has reacted with a lot of football and verticality to Northern Ireland’s goal. He arrives on the wings and with quite a bit of danger at the Northern Ireland goal.
