Pablo Fornals, Spain Narrowly Beat Belgium 2-1 at 2019 U21 EURO

Spain bagged their first win of the 2019 Under-21 European Championship on Thursday, narrowly beating Belgium 2-1 thanks to a late goal from Pablo Fornals.

La Roja were the better team and took an early lead through Daniel Olmo, but Sebastiaan Bornauw hit back after 24 minutes. Spain had tons of chances to reclaim the lead after the break, but they couldn't find the breakthrough until the final minutes, when substitute Fornals struck.

Both teams had lost their opening match in Group A, as Italy beat La Roja 3-1 and the Red Devils were upset by Poland, losing 3-2.
