Spain vs France, Euro 2024: Final Score 2-1, Lamine Yamal makes history as La Roja advance to title match

Barcelona’s largest contingent at Euro 2024 will play for the championship in Berlin on Sunday as Spain advanced to the title match thanks to a 2-1 win over France in Tuesday’s semi-final in Munich. Lamine Yamal had a special night as the Barça teenager started and became the youngest scorer in major tournament history, and led the way as La Roja conquered the mighty French and ended Jules Kounde’s adventure with Les Bleus in Germany.

FIRST HALF

Every Spain game in Euro 2024 has been very entertaining, and that continued to be the case in the opening period: La Roja went forward right away and Yamal almost recorded another assist just a couple of minutes in with a perfect cross that somehow ended with a missed header by Fabián Ruiz, and that miss was punished shortly after when a cross from Kylian Mbappé found Randal Kolo Muani at the far post for an easy header to put Les Bleus ahead in the 9th minute.
