- Story Text: Spanish fans gathered in Madrid on Saturday (June 15) to cheer on their side during their Euro 2024 opener against Croatia.
First-half goals from Alvaro Morata, Fabian Ruiz and Dani Carvajal set Spain on course for a comprehensive 3-0, giving the 2008 and 2012 champions the perfect start to their European Championship campaign.
Morata broke the deadlock in the 29th minute as the Croatians lost the ball up front and Fabian split the defence with a perfect pass for the Spanish captain to surge through and slot the ball past Dominik Livakovic.
Fabian added the second himself three minutes later and defender Carvajal added a third just before the break as Lamine Yamal, the youngest player ever to appear at the Euros, picked him out to score and effectively end the game as a contest.
