GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany : Italy' lack of freshness was punished by the technical ability of an exciting Spain and the 1-0 scoreline in Thursday's Euro 2024 clash did not reflect the dominance of their opponents, according to manager Luciano Spalletti.
World champions Argentina opened their bid for back-to-back Copa America titles with a 2-0 win over Canada in front of a crowd of 70,564 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Thursday. Julian Alvarez put Argentina ahead in the 49th minute but a combination of inspired goalkeeping from Canada's Max Crepeau and Lionel Messi's surprising lack of precision in front of goal ensured that the underdogs were in the game until Lautaro Martinez settled the contest in the 88th minute.
Belgium are in danger of an embarrassing early exit from Euro 2024 as the serial underachievers face a crunch clash with Romania on Saturday. After a shock 1-0 loss to Slovakia in their Group E opener, Domenico Tedesco's side will be pushed to the brink of elimination if they suffer a second successive defeat this weekend in Cologne. Belgium will be unable to finish in the top two if they lose to Romania and Ukraine do not beat Slovakia, with their hopes of going through as one of the four best third-placed teams also extremely slim.
Argentina star Lionel Messi became the most-capped player in Copa America history on Thursday as he reached 35 appearances in the opening match of the tournament against Canada. The 36-year-old had shared the record with Chilean goalkeeper Sergio Livingstone (34 caps) since appearing in the final of the 2021 Copa America in Brazil, where Argentina triumphed. Messi's appearances have been spread across seven editions of the Copa, starting with the 2007 tournament in Venezuela.
GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany : Spain underlined their Euro 2024 title credentials by outclassing defending champions Italy in a 1-0 win on Thursday which manager Luis de la Fuente hailed as the best of his time in charge of the team.
HAMBURG, Germany : Visitors to Hamburg including fans with time on their hands between Euro 2024 games have been enjoying a special exhibition that recreates the tournament in minute and colourful detail.
LEIPZIG, Germany : France take on the Netherlands on Friday at Leipzig Stadium, a place where Zinedine Zidane famously left his mark in 2006 - although the French team have been spared a glimpse of the dented dressing-room door in question.
Spain vs Italy Highlights, UEFA Euro 2024: Spain secured a place in the last 16 of Euro 2024 as a Riccardo Calafiori own goal in the second half gave them a 1-0 win over Italy on Thursday. The result means the three-time European champions have clinched top spot in Group B with a game to spare, while Italy will join them in qualifying as long as they avoid defeat in their next match against Croatia on Monday.
