U-21 European Championship, Spain defeats Slovakia in opening match

The European Under-21 Championship has started today, this time taking place in Slovakia.

In the opening match of this competition, home team Slovakia faced Spain, who, although coming into this match as super favorites and having a double advantage, had a very difficult time getting the 3 points in this match, which came thanks to a goal in the last minute of regular time.

Slovakia, with the support of the public, did not give up for a moment and managed to equalize, but was punished in the end after a corner kick.

The Spanish scored two quick goals in 2 minutes in the first half. First Marc Pubill scored after a beautiful action in the 15th minute and just two minutes later the second goal came with Mateo Joseph, after a model action. The first half ended 0-2 for Spain.

The second half started briskly for the Slovaks, who equalized by scoring 2 goals in 5 minutes. Kopásek scored in the 47th minute, taking advantage of a lethargy in the Spanish defense, while Suslov equalized in the 52nd minute from the penalty spot.

The winning goal for Spain would come in the 90th minute with César Tárrega, who scored with a header after a cross from a corner kick.

At 21:00, 3 more matches will be played, in Group A, Italy plays Romania. While in Group B we have two : Portugal-France and Poland-Georgia.
