Some minutes passed and, two yellow cards were shown to David Raum (Germany) and to Robin Le Normande (Spain). Spain and Germany were playing intensly, above all, Germany attempted some shots at the goal, but Unai Simón was alert and stopped them all. And here we finish the first part.
The Second part started more o less the same, but Spain was now attacking more and better, and they were also defending very strongly.
After changes for the two teams, because before some players got yellow cards and they didn’t want to risk it, came the best… Goooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaal !!!!! With, an incredible goal from Dani Olmo, passed by Lamine Yamal, Spain was on the lead, 1-0 on the scoreboard.

Succeeding that goal now Germany needed to go hard on Spain because they were losing, and if they lost they were out of the competition. Following the goal the two teams made changes, and Germany recieved two yellow cards in thirteen minutes.

Around minute 63’ and minute 80’ Spain made some important changes, like for example the two forwards, Williams J.R and Lamine Yamal, two spectacular players, that without those, Spain’s game started to change.
Germany, made a change, that was Jonathan Tah goes out and Thomas Müller enters, with that exchange Germany was like never before on the stadium, they were attacking like beasts and defending perfectly, so no ball could enter the goalkeeper area. And finally Wirtz recieved a pass from J.Kimmich, Spain is not defending well and… Gooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaal !!!!! From Germany on the minute 89’.

Nothing Interesting happened in those 6 minutes that were remanining from the match, there was only one exchange and one yellow card.
Extension is started, during the first part, one of Germany’s players receives a Yellow card, Deniz Undav, and Spain is starting to play rough. There is a very clear attempt where Musiala (Germany) shoots the ball to the goal, but accidentally hits a Spanish defender named Cucurella on his hand, and the Germans claim that it is penalty, but finally the referee doesn’t say anything, so the game continues.
