England U21 vs Spain U21 LIVE: Score and updates in European Championship quarter-final

To say that was lively would be one hell of an understatement!

England looked in for a long night when they conceded a penalty inside two minutes, only to see it overturned by VAR.

The next 10 minutes then saw two England goals, with James McAtee and Harvey Elliott turning their nightmare start into one of a dream.

Spain rallied, however, and halved England’s lead through Javi Guerra’s spot-kick.

A huge second-half ahead.

45+3 mins: Quansah nearly falls victim of the high press as red shirts surround him on the edge of the box, but he does well to play it out and avoid any major danger.

England are holding onto their lead, for now.

45 mins: FIVE minutes added on.

44 mins: Excellent work from Hinshelwood to mop up the cross after Bueno left Elliott for dead.

England’s backs are against the wall.

41 mins: CLOSE! Spain come again immediately as Guerra lets fly, with his effort rocketing just past the post.

Beadle was rooted to the spot. A nervy five or so minutes for England until the end of the half.

Hutchinson is now down with a head injury.

Beadle can’t emulate Trafford’s heroics of 2023 as he is sent the wrong way by Guerra, and England’s lead is halved.

37 mins: PENALTY! It’s another penalty for Spain – and this one isn’t getting overturned.

England give it away cheaply and as Moleiro dances into the box, Quansah sticks out a leg and brings him down.

Stonewall. Huge moment in this game.

34 mins: Tyler Morton is shown yellow for a late challenge and will therefore miss the semi-finals, should England progress.

30 mins: Awkward corner delivery from Spain but the header goes just wide.

The chance doesn’t go without some punishment for England, with Livramento down after being clattered in the air.

27 mins: Spain’s high press is putting England in some trouble, but so far it’s only really led to the referee blowing for a foul. They’re protecting the ball well enough at the moment.
