England and Spain are in the final of the U21 European Championship. England beat Israel 3-0, Spain beat Ukraine 5-1.
England beat Israel 3-0 in the first semi-final of the U21 European Championship in Georgia and Romania. Joker Cameron Archer made it 3-0 in Batumi/GEO in the 90th minute. The striker was released nicely by Cole Palmer following a quick counterattack. With too much space in the penalty area, Archer didn’t need to be asked twice and hit the Israeli heart to make it 3-0.
In the 65th minute, Palmer was also the center of attention himself. Again the English attacked the Israeli goal with a lot of speed. Morgan Gibbs-White passed to Emile Smith Rowe in the sixteen, who immediately crossed the ball to Palmer. He finished, but mightn’t really celebrate the 2-0. The linesman immediately raised the flag and signaled an offside. Only following a minute-long VAR consultation might the midfielder be happy.

Israel does not reward itself
Israel got off to a really good start. They didn’t let the English play their usual game and created chances themselves, but without becoming really dangerous. In the 13th minute things went haywire in Israel’s penalty area. Anthony Gordon went down following a goalkeeper error and a shot from the post by Smith Rowe. The VAR checked and confirmed the penalty decision. Gibbs-Withe showed his nerve and missed the penalty. Only in the 41st minute did he do better when he headed in to make it 1-0.
Spain celebrates victory
Spain follows England in the final at the U21 European Championship. Coach Santi Denia’s team won 5-1 in Bucharest once morest the surprising Ukraine. But the southern Europeans really had to earn the win, at least in the first half. The Ukrainians shocked the favorites in the 13th minute. Mychajlo Mudryk brought his momentum into the game and dizzily dribbled Spain’s back line. Artem Bondarenko found his pass and slipped in for a surprising lead without any problems.
The Spaniards regained their balance and responded just four minutes later. Abel Ruiz sprinted alone towards the Ukrainian goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin and rounded him confidently. Maksym Taloverov tried to hit the ball off the line, but even the defender mightn’t stop the goal.
Ukrainians fought without luck
The Spaniards increased the pace and turned the game around. In the 24th minute, Oihan Sancet had two chances to pass but rightly chose a shot from 20 meters away. The ball flew into the lower left corner of the goal to make it 2:1.
In the second half, “Red-Blue” finally closed the sack. Antonio Blanco (54th) and Aimar Oroz (68th) scored for their team. The Ukrainians didn’t have a chance to speak of in the second half and following the 1:4 the breath was gone too. The Spaniards found it easy to downplay the game easily. The final point came from Sergio Gomez, who flicked the ball into the net from the edge of the penalty area to make it 5-1 in the 78th minute. All in all, the victory was a bit too high, since the Ukrainians had fought self-sacrificingly.
