At the Berlin Olympics, La Roja defeated the Croatian team 3-0 in the crossroads of candidates for the first day of Group B.
Spain hit the table and beat Croatia 3-0 at the Olympic stadium in Berlin, for the first date in Group B of the Euro 2024 with goals from Álvaro Morata, Fabián Ruiz and Dani Caravajal.
La Roja was more Fury than ever and in a one-time match he dominated his opponent to score his name on the list of candidates to shout champion with a scoring burst. From the opening whistle, Luis de la Fuente’s team was seen controlling the match, although their opening score would come not from a collective play but from a counterattack. that Morata did not forgive when he went one-on-one with Livakovic and broke the tie.
Just two minutes later Ruiz expanded that advantage by leaving three men in the way inside the Balkan area and in the last play of the first half Lamine Yamal assisted Dani Caravajal to transform the victory into a rout., an assist that makes the Barcelona jewel the youngest assister in the history of the tournament. The complement returned to the tone of the first 30 minutes of the game and Croatia sinned due to its offensive inability in his only two great chances.
The clearest of these occasions lies in a horror in the departure of Spain that Petkovic failed to convert with an empty goal when he received the infraction from Rodri, the forward took charge of the execution but his shot was saved by Unai Simón although he converted it into a rebound that would eventually be invalidated due to invasion of the area. Fortune was not on the Balkan side and now they will go for recovery against Albania this coming Wednesday. On Spain’s side, their quest will be to revalidate this great football demonstration against Italy, the last champion of the tournament and which in the previous edition eliminated them in the semifinals in a definition from twelve steps.
