On Wednesday, after playing the semi-finals of the European Youth Championship (up to 17 years old) in France, it became clear that the tournament final will be between the hosts of the championship and the young Spanish footballers.
In the semi-final duel, the Spaniards defeated the young English footballers after a very intense and beautiful battle. The outcome of the match was decided by a successful penalty kick by the Spaniards at the end of the match, after which the score became 2-1, and did not change until the end of the match.
In the other semi-final duel, the hosts of the tournament, the French, defeated the young Portuguese team by 3-1.
The French team had already defeated the Spaniards 1-0 in the group stage matches, so in the final taking place in the city of Chateauroux on Saturday, the Spaniards will have the opportunity to avenge their defeat. It is expected that about 14 thousand spectators will watch the final match.
