Euro 2024: Only Goal Wayang Ferran Torres Takes Spain To The Top Of The Standings

JAKARTA - The Albania vs Spain Party took place at Merkur Spiel-Arena on Tuesday, June 25, 2024. The final match of Group B Euro 2024 ended with La Roja's victory with a narrow score of 1-0.

Albania can match Spain's game despite losing possession (40:60). Kuqezinjte even has a collection of more shots into the net than La Roja.

Sylvinho's troops fired four shots on target from 10 attempts. Meanwhile, Luis de la Fuente's men had only three shots into the net from 16 attempts.

Spain opened the scoring first in the 12th minute through Mikel Merino, but his shot was wide.

A minute later, La Roja's efforts immediately paid off. Ferran Torres took Spain ahead after his left foot kick took the ball sliding heavily into the top left corner of Thomas Strakosha's goal.

Winning one goal did not make Spain loosen. They still dominated the game to dismantle Albina's defense again.

However, Albania lasted more tightly than ever. They have tried to punish Spain several times through counter-attacks.

One of their efforts almost led to an equalizer at the end of the first half. Unfortunately, Kristjan Asllani's efforts from outside the penalty box could still be countered by goalkeeper David Raya.

No additional goals were created until halftime. Likewise in the second half.

Various opportunities through Joselu and Dani Olmo were unable to increase Spain's advantage.

Meanwhile, David Raya is a frightening scourge for Albania. Their efforts to find equaliser goals have always been thwarted by goalkeeper Arsenal.

Just look at Armando Broja's chances in the 66th minute and Asllani in the 78th minute that Raya can secure.

As a result, Ferran Torres' single goal became Spain's winning goal as well as brought the team to the top of Group B. La Roja made sure to qualify for the knockout stages as group winners.

Albania on the other hand had to end the journey at Euro 2024. They had to lift the suitcase after only occupying the caretaker of Group B by picking up one point from three matches.
