The English youth selection is crowned European champions for the third time. It is the first title since 1984. In the final, the Young Lions defeated the Swiss conqueror Spain 1-0. A free kick in the first half is decisive.
In an entertaining game, the English created the more dangerous chances with quick counter-attacks. Despite more ball possession, the Spaniards get into trouble several times due to their own mistakes. But England cannot benefit from it for the time being: just before half-time Chelsea center defender Colwill misses the best chance. His header hits the crossbar.
Overtime drama
In stoppage time in the first half, the English get another free kick. The conclusion of city jewel Palmer seems innocent at first, but is crucially deduced. No chance for Barcelona keeper Tenas. 1-0 to England.
The Spaniards then invest more in the second round and strongly press for the equalizer. This gives the English several counterattack options, but they neglected them.
The drama erupts in the last minute of extra time: referee Eskas points to the spot after a foul on Ruiz. Punishment for Spain! The captain starts running himself but fails as Trafford parries brilliantly. The Manchester City goalkeeper also stops the follow-up shot with his foot, securing the title for his side. (mab)
