Spain secured their place at Euro 2024 with a victory in Norway on Sunday, helping Scotland qualify from Group A.
Barcelona’s young midfielder, Gavi, played a pivotal role in securing a victory by scoring early in the second half.
This win allowed the 2008 and 2012 European champions, presumably the Spanish national team, to advance in the competition with two games to spare.
Norway’s Euro 2000 Dream Dwindles
For Norway, led by prolific striker Erling Haaland, this marked a significant setback. The Norwegian national team had not participated in a major tournament since Euro 2000, and their chances of qualification have now dwindled.
Play-off Hopes Remain for Norway
Norway’s hopes now lie in the possibility of qualifying through play-offs. They are reliant on their Nations League rankings to secure a spot in the tournament.
Spain’s Dominance and Frustration for Norway
Throughout the match, the Spanish team, representing the 2008 and 2012 European champions, effectively neutralized the efforts of Erling Haaland, who plays for Manchester City.
It was a frustrating night for Norway, who find themselves five points behind their opponents and Scotland, with only one match remaining in their European qualification campaign.
