Patna : Sweden held three-time champion Spain to a goaless draw in a 96 minute Group E match in UEFA Euro 2020 at La Cartuja Stadium, Seville, Spain, on June 15, 2021. About 10,559 people watched the match at Seville.
Both the team missed several chances to score goal. But, credit to Sweden for tackling Larcos Llorente Moreno, 26, and Jordi Alba Ramos, 32, well in second -half of the match. Spain failed to break Swedish defence during the match despite being possession of the ball nearly 85 % of the match time.
Spain had won the EEFA Euro cup in 1964, 2008, and 2012. They were runner-up in 1984. The tournament is held every four year. Sweden, on the other hand, had finished 4th in 1992 at home, their best result so far.
