In the opening moments of extra time, Toni skillfully sent the ball into the air with a header, and accurately assisted for Kane, England thus completed the comeback with a score of 2-1, and finally successfully advanced to the last eight. This is the fourth time since Southgate took over as England manager that he has led his team to the last eight of a major tournament.
Georgia, Spain vs.
Both teams are stepping onto the Europa League stage for the first time. Looking back at last year's European qualifiers, Spain beat Georgia twice in the group, home and away, averaging a whopping five goals per game.
At the start of the match, Spain set the tempo to a half-time offensive and defensive drill, while Georgia contracted its defense and retreated into its own half. In the 10th minute, Spain came close with a header from Carvajal from a corner kick, but it was deflected by keeper Mamadashvili. After escaping the danger, Georgia suddenly launched a counterattack, and Kakabadze's precise pass led to Lenormand's own goal, giving Georgia a 1-0 lead. In the face of Spain's fierce counterattack, Mamadashvili repeatedly made key saves, but ultimately failed to stop Rodri's powerful shot, Spain equalized 1-1.
After the break, Spain's offense became more and more ferocious. A sublime assist from Yamal led to a header by Fabian to make it 2-1. Immediately afterwards, a misplaced pass from the Georgian backfield led to a missed opportunity for Yamal inside the penalty area. In the 75th minute, Nico Williams made a powerful break in the box to extend Spain's lead 3-1. Substitute Olmo completed the scoring in the 83rd minute to seal Spain's 4-1 win.
The European Cup has once again witnessed a comeback, with Spain scoring four goals in a row to complete a great comeback and advance to the last eight for the ninth time in the team's history. Next up, they will face hosts Germany, with the winner advancing to the quarterfinals.
