Fabian Ruiz, Dani Olmo Score as Spain Beat Germany in 2019 U21 Euro Final

Spain secured the 2019 UEFA Under-21 European Championship title on Sunday, as they beat Germany 2-1 at the Friuli Stadium in Udine, Italy.

Spain flew out of the traps and were ahead inside seven minutes when Fabian Ruiz curled a brilliant shot into the corner from distance. The other major incident before the break was a reckless challenge from Jesus Vallejo on Germany's Luca Waldschmidt, for which he somehow avoided a red card.

La Rojita made the game safe in the 69th minute, when Fabian's shot was spilled by Germany goalkeeper Alexander Nubel and Dani Olmo dinked in the rebound.
