A stunning header from Mitchell Weiser saw Germany to a 1-0 win over Spain in the final of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship on Friday at the Stadio Cracovia in Krakow, Poland.
Germany took a deserved lead in the 39th minute when Weiser guided a superb looping header into the top corner from a narrow angle.
After a passive first period, Spain improved after the break and pinned their opponents back for long spells. But the spark they showcased so frequently earlier in the tournament was absent, as Germany were able to shut out La Roja’s array of attacking talent.
