Pedri and Lamine Yamal on song as Spain see off Italy at Euro 2024

Spain made it two wins from two at Euro 2024 with a 1-0 victory over defending champions Italy in Group B on Thursday night in Germany.

La Roja enjoyed the better of the first half and could have taken the lead inside two minutes when Pedri had a great chance.

Nico Williams, who was a constant threat down the left, crossed the ball into the box and found Pedri but his header was tipped over the bar by Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Spain continued to boss the first half but couldn’t find the back of the Italy net, with Donnarumma making important saves from Alvaro Morata and Fabian Ruiz.
