Spain had a difficult time scoring at the Euro 2020. In its first two games in Group E, the team scored only once. The good news is that Spain qualifies for Euro 2020 knockout stage with a bit of help from an unlikely scorer.
When Spain faced Slovakia, the former needed a win to qualify for the next round. According to PPH sportsbook reports, Spain found it hard to score until an own-goal from Slovakian goalie Martin Dubravka.
Dubravka, who plays for Newcastle United, had a good start. Earlier in the game, he blocked Alvaro Morata’s penalty kick. However, Spanish striker Pablo Sarabia intercepted Lubomir Satka’s clearance. He struck the ball and hit the bar. Dubravka wanted to redirect the ball over the bar. However, it went through the goal to his and the team’s dismay.
