Spain's U21 team had a nail-biting start in the European Football Championship, eeking out a narrow 3:2 victory against Slovakia. Despite a 2:0 lead, the Spanish squad nearly surrendered the game but managed to grab the victory at the last second.
Mateu Pubill (16) and Mateo Joseph (18) set Spain up for a promising start, with the team dominating the first half. However, after the break, Slovakia, led by Dominik Javorcek (Holstein Kiel defender), mounted a swift comeback. Samuel Kopasek (48.) and Tomas Suslov (53.) leveled the game with a penalty, leaving the match hanging in the balance. Spain, though, kept attacking and was rewarded in the clutch by Cesar Tarrega (Valencia FC) just before the final whistle.
For now, Spain leads Group A.
Next up for Germany's U21 team is a match against Slovenia on Thursday at 9 PM CET, followed by games against the Czech Republic (June 15) and title defender England (June 18) in Group B. The top two teams from each group will advance to the quarterfinals, and the final will take place on June 28 in Bratislava.
