In the third match of the European Cup B Group, Ferran Torres’ solitary goal secured a 1-0 victory for Spain over Albania.
Notably, this is the second time in Spanish history that they have won all three group stage matches in a European Championship, previously achieving it in 2008 when they went on to claim the title. Moreover, it marks their inaugural shutout in the group stages of both World Cups and European Cups combined.
With an ongoing record against Albania, Spain extends its perfect winning streak to 100%. They have now met the Albanian team nine times, with every encounter resulting in a Spanish win. In those eight previous meetings, Spain scored a total of 31 goals, averaging at least two goals per game. This time, it was the first time that they had scored fewer than two goals against Albania.
