The score was opened by France just eight minutes into the first half. After a pass from Dembélé, Mbappé controlled the ball on the left wing and crossed to the far post for Kolo Muani, who rose higher than defender Laporte and headed the ball in to score.
Spain equalized in the 21st minute of the first half. Lamine Yamal took advantage of a rebounded ball in the middle of the field, cut to his left and hit a beautiful shot, into the right corner of goalkeeper Maignan’s goal, who could do nothing.
In the 25th minute of the first half, Spain turned the game around. Jesús Navas crossed from the right and the defense cleared it, but the ball ended up at the feet of Dani Olmo, inside the area. The midfielder dribbled past Tchouaméni, shot and, before it went in, Koundé deflected it, but was unable to prevent the goal that guaranteed the victory and Spain’s qualification.
