Spain and England were locked at a scoreless draw during halftime in the European Championship final at Berlin's 71,000-seat Olympiastadion on Sunday.
Both teams exhibited robust defenses, neutralizing threats effectively. Notably, teenage Spanish prodigy Lamine Yamal was contained by England's Luke Shaw. Spain, while having superior possession, managed only one shot on target, a deflected attempt by Fabian Ruiz comfortably saved by England's Jordan Pickford.
England's best opportunity came from Phil Foden, who volleyed a shot straight at Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simon. England's Harry Kane and Spain's Dani Olmo, two of the tournament's top scorers, received yellow cards. Spain aims for a record fourth European Championship title, while England seeks to end a 58-year drought since the 1966 World Cup.
