Euro 2020 Semifinals: Italy vs. Spain Live Updates

Spain (12) has scored more goals than any team in the tournament, followed by two other semifinalists, Italy and Denmark, who both have 11. England might have the more impressive feat, though: It has yet to allow a goal in five games in the tournament, the only country that can claim that.

Spain’s recent avalanche of goals — five in its final group game, five more in the round of 16 — disguised a problem that had been apparent in its first two games: The team can struggle to score. The Spanish produced only one goal in their first two games, and only one in a quarterfinal against Switzerland despite playing the final 15 minutes of regular time and both extra periods with a man advantage.
