  KUCK OWN GOAL- SPAIN 5-0

  71' GOOOOOOALL! AND PAU TORRES IS INVOLVED. Wow , there is nothing Spain cannot do at the moment. Laporte nods a free-kick after the subs and it is turned on Torres at far post. Dubravka makes the save but the ball rolls into the net after bouncing off Kucka

• 23 Jun 2021, 10:43:39 PM IST

  Spain dominate

  52' A couple of silly fouls in midfield from Slovakia haven't helped them to improve their build-up, and Spain still look comfortable riding out that few minutes of pressure from their opponents.

• 23 Jun 2021, 10:37:31 PM IST

  Halftime subs

  Lobotka and Duris come on for Duda and Hromada.

  HALFTIME

  HALFTIME! An entertaining first half comes to an end. Spain should get the job done comfortably from here.

• 23 Jun 2021, 10:19:13 PM IST

  GOOOALLL!

  45+3' GOOOOALL! Laporte scores in his first month for Spain. From France to Spain, Laporte may have secured a R16 berth for his new team. Coming to the goal, the corner is half-cleared by the Slovakia players. The ball is put back into the box by Pedri. It was met by Moreno, who lifts it into the spot where Laporte finds the back of the net with a looping header.

• 23 Jun 2021, 10:18:26 PM IST

  BLOCKS

  45+2' GREAT BLOCK. Sarabia, from the left, floats in a great delivery into the box near the spot. He seeks Morata but Skriniar gets in the way with a clearing header

  Slovakia vs Spain UEFA Euro 2020

  45' WIDE! Koke has a go from distance. Fair play to him. Even if he saves it, maybe Dubravka would chuck it in anyway. It's just wide of the far post from 25, maybe 30 yards.

• 23 Jun 2021, 10:15:39 PM IST

  STOPPAGE TIME

  4 added minutes to a very interesting first half.

• 23 Jun 2021, 10:08:24 PM IST

  MISSED AND OFF-SIDE

  36' SAVED BY THE FLAG! Finally Slovakia have a shot Hromanda's ball from deep finds Duda, who takes a crack at goal from 20 yards outs. He misses but must have been relieved to see the flag go up.

• 23 Jun 2021, 10:01:39 PM IST

  OWN GOAL

  30' GOOOOOOALLL! IT'S AN OWN GOAL FROM DUBRAVKA. Oh, Boy! What a disaster for Slovakia. Spain get lucky. Coming to the goal, Sarabia walks into the box and shoots. The ball hits the crossbar and balloons in the air. Dubravka looks to punch the ball over the bar but ends up smashing it, like a volleyball, into his own net.

• 23 Jun 2021, 09:55:52 PM IST

  DUBRAVKA ON FIRE

  24' SAVE! Dubravka keeping his team afloat single-handedly. After a long build-up, Morata manages to cut in to the edge of the box. He then rifles the bal goalwards only to be denied by Duvravka.

• 23 Jun 2021, 09:53:58 PM IST

  MISS!

  20' AND AGAIN! These two minutes are a snapshot Spain's campaign so far. Create, create, miss. Azpilicueta cuts inside off the right and curls one on his left into the middle. It's glanced on by the faintest of Morata touches and beats Pedri at the back post.

• 23 Jun 2021, 09:51:59 PM IST

  Slovakia vs Spain

  19' WHAT A CHANCE! Pedri, from the left flank, picks out the incoming Sarabia with a peach of a dink in the box. Yet, Sarabia fails to convert

• 23 Jun 2021, 09:46:46 PM IST

  Costly miss?

  Spain, unsurprisingly, start with possession. They should have scored from the spot.

• 23 Jun 2021, 09:42:54 PM IST

  MORATA MISSES PENALTY

  11' SAVEEDD! Dubravka makes a stunning save. Guesses the right direction, goes to his right and Morata misses another chance.

• 23 Jun 2021, 09:39:44 PM IST

  POUCHED

  8' Sarabia sends a long ball towards the far post from deep but Dubravka gathers comfortably in the Slovakia goal.

  4' SAVE! Moreno, down the left, plays through to Morata near the box, whose shot-cum-cross is low and hard at goal but it is palmed away by Slovakia goalkeeper Dubravka.

  Can Busquets make a difference?

  Right then. We are less than 15 minutes away from kickoff. Can Busquets inspire a Spain comeback?

• 23 Jun 2021, 09:12:08 PM IST

  What is Enrique saying?

  Enrique told reporters: "Slovakia make it very hard to score against them, and a draw would also take them through. They're very difficult to break down through the central channel because they crowd that area with lots of players. This match is going to be trickier than most people expect.

  "We have had nothing but complications in our first two matches and we are going to be facing very similar complications again. But we’re ready."
