Cruel outcome for Spain in the final of the Under-21 Euro Cup. Abel Ruiz had a penalty in the 98th minute that forced the game into extra time but his shot was saved by Trafford to keep the score at 1-0.
The maximum penalty was inflicted by Abel Ruiz himself, who received a slight foul from Colwill when he controlled a ball in the area. The referee was unaware of the foul but was warned by VAR and, after reviewing the action, ordered a penalty.
Abel Ruiz, the captain, took charge from the eleven meters in the 99th minute. The Braga forward opted for a powerful shot that was poorly adjusted but was saved by Trafford. The rejection fell to Aimar Oroz but the goalkeeper again did well to prevent 1-1 and therefore extra time.
Moments later, Norwegian referee Eskaas signaled the end of the game and England were European champions without conceding a goal in the entire championship.
