JAKARTA - The Euro 2024 final brings together Spain vs England at Olympias Stadium, Berlin, on Monday, July 15, 2024, early morning WIB.
The first half match took place at a fast tempo and both teams played more carefully.
The transition of both teams is still going well so that opportunities always fail to penetrate the heart of the defense.
Throughout the first 15 minutes, Spain put more pressure on England. The attack focused on the two wings inhabited by Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal.
However, The Three Lions' solid defense made La Roja attacks always run aground, either through blocks or with defenders.
England could only put pressure on the next 15 minutes. In addition to building a slow attack from the area itself, Gareth Southgate's team pressure stems from a counterattack.

It's just that, again, the Spanish fast transition makes it difficult for England to dismantle the defense. La Roja quickly went down to defend by piling up players in the penalty box and the second line.
This made it difficult for Harry Kane and colleagues to push through the middle side. The attacks from both wings inhabited by Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka always failed because their cross was intercepted by Spanish defenders.
However, England is better at creating chances. They successfully packed one shot on target through set pieces.
Starting from Declan Rice's free kick, Phil Foden, who was at the far post, greeted with a volley. Only, his shot can still be saved by Unai Simon.
Spain, which had a total of 70 percent of the ball and fired five shots, could not open the scoring.
As a result, the meeting of each team's defense made no chance that could be converted into a goal. The score of the first half also lasted without a goal.
