He had been trying through the whole first half and he got it. Ansu Fati scored the side's third goal versus Ukraine after just 32 minutes. A historic goal which was also a superb one.
He tried to score with an overhead kick before that, but he had been playing very well since the game started. He was included in the starting XI and he certainly made the most of it.

Just after the half hour mark, Spain dispossessed their opponents, Ansu Fati got the ball and drove towards the edge of the box.
He was then up against a defender. He feigned to go outside, but ended up cutting inside and he found the gap. Ansu even went to ground after hitting it.
It was worth it. Pyatov saw the ball a bit late, but he had no chance even with a full length dive. Ansu Fati hit it onto the base of Pyatov's left hand post and it went in.
What a great goal to get off the mark and to make history for the Spanish national team.
