In the early hours of Sunday morning, Group B of the UEFA Europa League was in full swing, and the showdown between Spain and Croatia was like a fire. Sparks flew as the two powerhouses met, with Spain showing great explosiveness with a three-goal halftime advantage. Captain Ewalu Morada led the team to three consecutive European Cups, and 16-year-old Lamine Yemma also contributed key assists, so the morale is as strong as ever.
The Group B battle was tight and the two teams were expected to hold each other at bay, however the match unexpectedly became a goal-fest. Croatia attacked hard in the early stages, but Andy Budimea failed to capitalize on two good chances. Spain, on the other hand, counterattacked like an arrow and struck a deadly blow.
In the 29th minute, Croatia made a mistake and Spain quickly counterattacked. Fabian Penner sent a precise direct ball to Ewalu Morada, who scored a brilliant shot to make it 1-0! The record of three consecutive Euro finals was thus renewed. Three minutes later, Penner showed his passing skills again, with a precise pass from Berti, who scored from the top of the penalty area, extending Spain's lead to 2-0.
The "Raging Bulls", Nicolas Williams and Ramin Yemma, showed their incredible strength with a pair of wings. Just before half-time, Yemma's precise cross from the right was met by Daniel Kahuaji's header at the near post, and Barcelona and Real Madrid players joined forces to make it 3-0 at halftime.
Croatia couldn't capitalize on their scoring chances in the hard-fought game despite the chances. In the second half, Budimea again missed a good opportunity. Another wave of attack, the whole team under pressure, the penalty area shots like rain fell, but the Spanish defense is impregnable.
In the 80th minute, Lodicas Jandi made a fatal error, Croatia gained 12 yards, like Nu Berkovic save, but the VAR review showed that Bileksi has the suspicion of entering the penalty area first, and finally awarded a penalty kick fraud. Facing Spain, Croatia "Grid Army" swallowed 3 goals bitter fruit.
