SEVILLE (Reuters) -Spain crushed a hapless Slovakia 5-0 in their first Euro 2020 win on Wednesday, setting up a last-16 clash against Croatia, after being set on their way by a calamitous own-goal from keeper Martin Dubravka.

Aymeric Laporte headed in a second goal on the stroke of halftime before second-half goals from Pablo Sarabia, Ferran Torres and a Juraj Kucka own goal rounded off an emphatic win that saw them finish second in Group E on five points behind Sweden.Dubravka had made a stunning save to keep out an Alvaro Morata penalty but gave Spain the lead on the half-hour mark when he palmed the ball into his own net after a Sarabia shot had cannoned off the crossbar and looped back towards goal.

"Today was a huge boost for everyone, for the players, the fans. I've had a really bad time, 10 days at home without knowing if I could return. But now whatever will be will be." "We struggled at the start but we had a great first 20 minutes, playing with a brutal level of intensity." Ferran added to the festive mood by scoring with a classy back heel immediately after coming off the bench, converting a cross from the electric Sarabia.
