Spain's Dramatic Comeback in Euro Semi-Final
Spain was on the back foot early in their semi-final clash against France, with the Gauls scoring in the 8th minute. The match seemed tilted in France's favor until the 21st minute, when Dani Olmo's pass, deflected by William Saliba, found its way to Lamine Yamal. Positioned 27 meters from the French goal, Yamal executed a brilliant maneuver, deceiving Adrien Rabiot and curling a stunning strike into the right corner of the net, beyond the reach of French goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
Lamine Yamal Makes History
At just 16 years and 362 days old, Lamine Yamal's goal not only equalized the score but also made him the youngest scorer in the history of the European Championship. His remarkable play, characterized by a feint that left Rabiot out of position and a precise shot into the corner, showcased his immense potential and composure under pressure.
Spain Secures the Lead
The momentum shifted entirely in Spain's favor just four minutes after Yamal's equalizer. Dani Olmo, after a superb sequence, saw his shot deflected by Jules Koundé into the French net, putting Spain ahead 2-1. Despite Maignan's best efforts, the French defense struggled to contain Spain's relentless attacks. The match concluded with Spain awaiting their next opponent in the final, set to be held in Berlin on Sunday.
