Captain Álvaro Morata opened the scoring at 29' after a slick assist from Fabián Ruiz. Just three minutes later, Ruiz turned scorer himself, weaving past three defenders like a TikTok dance trend . The crowd erupted again before halftime when 16-year-old Lamine Yamal – now the youngest Euros player EVER – set up Dani Carvajal for a volley that broke the internet

Croatia fought back late, but a saved penalty and a disallowed goal (thanks to VAR ) sealed their fate. Both coaches agreed: Spain’s victory was fully deserved. With this win, La Roja just stamped their ticket as *serious* title contenders.
