Spain vs Sweden: Spain, as is habitual, start the tournament slowly. They utterly dominated the game and yet Sweden could have scored a couple, with Alexander Isak a real threat.

Spain has blown hot and cold since their last Euro triumph, and now they are confident to begin their quest to reclaim European glory in their first match of the Euro 2020 against Sweden on Monday.

Stream:

This may well be Spain’s last corner-kick of the game. Moreno rises again but heads wide.

90 + 2′ BLOCKED. AGAIN. OLSEN! Augustinsson ducks for some unknown reason as Alba slices a fiery cross into the box. Sarabia has been caught napping as a rebound off his legs goes straight to the keeper. Safe as houses.

90′ Olsen saves his side again at the death! What a thriller this is turning out to be… Moreno’s header has been booted out. We will have six minutes of added time, ladies and gents! Spain is pushing for the winner and the urgency is evident.

Formation:

Albin Ekdal, Sweden midfielder: ”It was a very, very exhausting match physically, it was also frustrating that we couldn’t play the way we wanted to. But the important thing is the point that we take from here.”

This feels bad, of course. We were very solid in our match idea today. We dominated. So you go away a bit unhappy because of not winning. If we keep playing like that we’ll win nine out of ten games. But we need to learn. We have great strikers and I’m certain we will do it better next time.
