🔴 The reigning World Cup and Nations League champions faced off against Portugal in the opening round. Just like in the spring Nations League matches, where both teams were in the same group, La Roja left no stone unturned against the Portuguese. The outcome was decided not by halftime, but as early as the seventh minute of the match.

🔵 Esther Gonzalez opened the scoring for the impending rout in just the second minute. Vicky Lopez and Alexia Putellas followed suit, and just before halftime, Gonzalez completed her brace. In the second half, the Spanish team comfortably saw out the match; both sides, having emerged from the locker room, had already accepted the inevitable result. Only in the 93rd minute did substitute Cristina Martin-Prieto seize her opportunity to set the final score at 5-0.

🆕 Across all tournaments, La Roja have now won their last six matches, scoring 26 goals in the process. This victory marked Spain's largest-ever win in European Championship history, surpassing their 4-1 triumph over Finland in 2022.

Belgium (W) Team Overview

• possession: 53% vs 47%;

🔴 The "Red Flames" fought hard for a win against Italy in their opening match. The game started promisingly for the Belgians as they created several dangerous opportunities, but their finishing let them down — they lacked quality in the final third. After failing to capitalize on their chances, Belgium conceded a goal just before halftime, in the 44th minute. In the second half, Elisabeth Gunnarsdottir's squad continued to search for a breakthrough but remained unsuccessful. The result was a narrow 1-0 defeat.

⚫ The Belgian squad understood the importance of defeating Italy, as their next match against Spain promises to be even tougher. The teams are well-acquainted from the Nations League group stage, where Spain claimed victories twice: 3-2 and 5-1.

Latest news

Spain (W)

🎙 Spain's head coach Montserrat Tomé shared her thoughts with UEFA: "We've made a strong start to the tournament. In these competitions, it's crucial to win the opening match and score early. We had some fantastic moments in the first half, taking a 4-0 lead and sticking perfectly to our game plan. I'm pleased with the team's performance. First and foremost, we find strength and confidence within ourselves. It's everything we need for further growth. We have a clear understanding of our work path and fully grasp the importance of respecting every opponent."

🔝 Two-time Ballon d'Or winner and team captain Alexia Putellas was named Player of the Match against Portugal.

Belgium (W)

🎙 Belgium's head coach, Elisabet Gunnarsdottir: "Naturally, I'm feeling disappointed right now, but we need to analyze what happened and think about what we could have done better. At the same time, I'm proud of how my players approached the match. We played bravely and did things we don't always manage to do: we controlled possession more and took the initiative. We aimed to create genuinely dangerous chances but didn't succeed, resulting in many half-chances around the penalty area."

🎤 Belgium forward Hanna Erlings: "The disappointment is huge because we wanted to win this match and probably should have. When you don't win or at least draw your first match, it makes things really complicated, especially with a game against Spain coming up. We're eagerly anticipating the next two games, but it would have been better if we'd won today. We had opportunities, particularly in the first half. I don't feel the Italians were better. We had more possession and created more threats, but we didn't capitalize on our chances. Maybe it was the weather. We're usually good on counterattacks, but today was tough."
