**Spain's Dominance Seals Victory Over Italy**
In a tightly contested match, Spain emerged victorious over Italy with a 1-0 win, thanks to an own goal by Riccardo Calafiori in the 55th minute. Spain dominated the match with nearly 60% possession and a relentless offense, registering 20 shots. Italy struggled to make an impact, managing only four attempts on goal.
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was a key player for Italy, making eight crucial saves. However, it wasn't enough to keep Spain from scoring. The critical moment came when Nico Williams sent a cross to Alvaro Morata, leading to Calafiori’s unfortunate own goal.
This victory allows Spain to advance with a game to spare, showcasing their potential as tournament favorites. However, they will face Albania in their Group B finale without Rodri, who is suspended.
**England Holds Top Spot After Draw with Denmark**
England managed to retain the top position in Group C following a 1-1 draw with Denmark. Harry Kane's early goal provided England with an optimistic start, but Morten Hjulmand equalized for Denmark, taking advantage of England's defensive errors.
The Three Lions experienced a series of sloppy plays and turnovers that allowed Denmark numerous opportunities. After scoring early, England adopted a deep defensive stance, which proved to be a costly decision. Following a throw-in turnover, Hjulmand's low strike hit the post and went in, securing the equalizer for Denmark.
Despite multiple substitutions, England's performance didn’t improve. This result poses a challenge for England, who must now work hard to convince a skeptical public back home of their readiness to win the tournament.
