Spain advanced to the Euro 2024 round of 16 after edging past defending champion Italy 1-0 on Thursday. A crucial own goal by Italy's Riccardo Calafiori in the 55th minute gave Spain the decisive lead in this high-stakes match.

Spain, a three-time winner of the tournament, dominated throughout the Group B clash at Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen. The game also saw 16-year-old winger Lamine Yamal elevate his status as one of soccer's most exciting young talents through a remarkable performance.

Italy's goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma put in a valiant effort with several incredible saves but accidentally pushed the ball into his teammate Calafiori's legs, leading to the own goal. Elsewhere, England drew 1-1 with Denmark in a Group C match after Harry Kane both scored and contributed to Denmark's equalizer. Additionally, Luka Jovic scored in stoppage time for Serbia to end their Group C game against Slovenia in a 1-1 draw. England currently leads the group standings with four points and is on course to advance to the next round.
