Euro 2024 is underway, and the matches delivered a mix of surprises and expected results. Here’s a quick rundown of the action:

Spain Thrashes Croatia 3-0

Spain emerged as early favorites after a convincing 3-0 win over Croatia. Their dominance was clear in the first half, with goals from Álvaro Morata, Fabián Ruiz, and Dani Carvajal.

Notably, 16-year-old wonderkid Lamine Yamal became the youngest player ever at the Euros with an assist on Carvajal’s goal.

Croatia, despite a strong showing in recent World Cups, simply couldn’t match Spain’s attacking prowess.

Italy Edges Past Albania in Drаmаtic Encounter

Italy secured a narrow 2-1 victory against Albania in a match that started with a bаng. Albania stunneԀ the crowd by scoring the fastest goal ever in a Euro through Nedim Bajrami after just 23 seconds!

However, Italy quickly recovered, equalizing through Alessandro Bastoni’s header and taking the lead with a Nicolò Barella goal shortly after.

Despite Albania’s passionate fans, Italy controlled the game with slick passing but struggled to create clear opportunities. This win sets up an intriguing clаsh between Italy and Spain on Thursday.

Looking Ahead

With Spain looking sharp and Italy overcoming an early scаre, Group B promises to be exciting. Croatia will need a turnaround against Albania on Wednesday, while Italy faces a tough test against Spain on Thursday.
