Match report in news
End of match
-
93'FT: 4-0. It ends 4-0 in Leganés after a dominant display from Spain's U21 side. Lithuania generated very little while Spain had numerous opportunities to score more, and the 4-0 scoreline probably flatters Lithuania in truth. A proud moment for the youngsters who took their opportunity to shine with both hands, as we await who will be available for Spain's first match at Euro 2020 against Sweden.

91'2 minutes added on.

89'Abel Ruiz now down after slipping off the ball, looks to have pulled his groin.

88'Lithuania threatening!! Eliosius whips in a delicious cross inswinging from the right, but Dubickas is late to arrive and misses a clear tap in by inches.

-
80'Spain still in control here. Lithuania generating very little.
-
77'Chance for Spain!! Puado should've got his second, after showing great skill, cutting inside and dribbling past a number of Lithuania players. But his shot from the edge of the box is well wide, wasted opportunity.

54'Goal for Spain!!! Miranda scores from the FK!! Miranda strikes the free-kick with his left, it deflects off the wall towards goal but Svedkauskas in the Lithuana goal can't keep it out. The GK will be disappointed with that one, Spain don't care though!
