Spain 1-0 Albania

LUIS DE LA FUENTE’S side underlined their strength in depth at this tournament by easing past battling Albania on a hot Monday evening in Dusseldorf.

A first half strike by Ferran Torres was enough to seal victory and make it three wins out of three for the Spanish who remain a strong favourite to lift the European Championship title for the first time since 2012.

Despite making ten changes from the side that beat Italy 1-0 in their previous match last Thursday, the Spanish second string were too good for Sylvinho’s side.
