On the early hours of June 21st, Spain secured a 1-0 victory over Italy in their second UEFA Euro group match. Following this result, Spain has guaranteed their spot as group winners and advanced to the knockout phase one round ahead.
After two rounds of group matches, Spain stands at the top of the group with two wins and six points. Albania and Croatia, in the lower positions, have only one point each and can no longer mathematically surpass Spain. Italy, who could potentially reach six points, cannot overtake Spain due to their inferior head-to-head record.
With their advancement as Group B leaders, Spain will likely face the third-place team from Group A, D, E, or F in the Round of 16. In the quarterfinals, they would then play the winner of the clash between the Group A winner and the Group C runner-up.
Is this the Group of Death? Spain secures first place in Group B with two victories, advancing to the knockout stage.
