It was Riccardo Calafori who bagged an own goal for Spain in that match, but this has sealed a round of 16 spot for the three-time European champions.
Spain are also aiming to end their 12-year duck on winning a major tournament with them last winning Euro 2012 as part of a three-tournament winning run that saw them win Euro 2008, the 2010 World Cup and also EUro 2012.
They’ve made a solid start to doing so, as they dominated most of the game against Italy. Rodri and Yamine Lamal were unfortunate not to get goals, where Italy ultimately defended quite well.
However, they eased to all three points in the first game against Croatia, as the Spanish ran out 3-0 winners and put a serious marker down on this tournament.
Alvaro Morata scored with a lovely finish in the first half of that match, before Fabian Ruiz scored a rare goal for his country as well in that fixture against Croatia.
Dani Carvajal also got amongst the goals, not long after scoring the winning goal in the Champions League final, as all three goals came in the first half.
Albania still have a chance at getting through in this game, but they will need to beat Spain. So far, the nation have earned a draw against Croatia in a thrilling battle, before then losing to Italy in a narrow 2-1 loss.
Nedim Bajrami scored the quickest goal in European Championship history that day against Italy, before two goals in quick time pulled the defending champions into a 2-1 lead.
Albania also got a draw against Croatia as well, although they did lead 1-0 after Qazim Laci scored in the first half. Croatia then got two goals in two minutes during the second half, one being an own goal from Klaus Gjasula.
The headlines were eventually stolen by Gjasula for the right reasons, as he scored deep into stoppage time to earn a point for Albania and ultimately keep their hopes alive at Euro 2024.
Forebet now predicts a win for Spain and under 2.5 goals.
