Comments:
Spain had now failed to win either of their opening two games of a UEFA European Championship finals for the first time since 1996. Álvaro Morata had now scored four of Spain's last five goals at UEFA European Championship finals. This was the 50th game that Spain had played in Seville (won 39, lost four). Alvaro Morata's goal was initially disallowed for offside but the decision was subsequently overturned following a VAR review. Spain were awarded a penalty after 57 minutes for a foul following a VAR review. Gerard Moreno missed the spot-kick.
