The first Euro 2024 finalist determined in Spain-France match. Video

The Spanish national team defeated France in the semifinals of the European Football Championship. The match at the Allianz Arena in Munich ended with a score of 2-1.

Spain predictably seized the initiative from the very first minutes and almost opened the scoring in the first minutes after a dangerous set piece. In response, France scored its first goal of the Euro 2024 tournament.

Mbappe was allowed to get the ball on the flank. The Real Madrid rookie paused for a moment and delivered a perfect cross to the far post. Cucurella and Jesus Navas were in the audience and watched as Kolo Muani easily sent the ball into the net.

France used their opponents' mistakes by attacking much sharper and easily dealing with their defense.

In the 21st minute, Lamine Yamal outplayed Rabiot on the outskirts of the penalty area and fired a powerful shot at Unai Simon's goal from 23 meters. The ball hit the post in an arc and then flew into the net. This goal went down in history.

Almost immediately, Dani Olmo beat three Spaniards in the penalty area and fired a powerful shot into the far corner, where Jules Kounde redirected the ball into his goal.

In the second half, there was an equal struggle on the field, but the teams played for the result. The Spaniards did not force the situation, controlled the ball most of the time and tried to work to disrupt the opponents' attacks.

The French, who needed to get back into the game, tried to escalate the situation, but the Spanish goalkeeper played flawlessly.

Towards the end of regular time, De la Fuente's men were deeper and deeper in defense, but the French players failed to score a goal.
