The score was opened by Spain in the 29th minute of the opening stage. Morata took advantage of Fabián Ruiz’s throw between the Croatian defense, beat the defenders with speed and hit low, left-handed, to score the first goal of the match.
The Spanish extended their lead in the 32nd minute of the first half. After Pedri’s pass, Fabián Ruiz dominated at the edge of the area, cut two Croatian markers, moved to his left leg and shot across.
At 47 in the first stage, Spain closed the result. After a short corner, Lamine Yamal dominated on the right wing and crossed. Carvajal anticipated the marking in the small area and managed to finish off goalkeeper Livakovic.
